A model-based method for cognitive user interface design for skills training in an augmented reality environment

Abstract

Instructional and support information are very useful in learning and automation stages of skill acquisition. The spatial integration of information is fundamental to reduce in trainees the external cognitive processing. Non-integrated information generated spatial split attention, increasing the external cognitive load in trainees. The proposal presented in this document attempt to address the designing of user interfaces at the prototyping level, by proposing a model-based method to explore the design space as a strategy to reduce the external cognitive load.
