LICAI+: A comprehension-based model of the recall of action sequences

This paper presents a model of occasional use of functions of an application by an experienced user of an environment like Windows 95 or the MacOS. We have developed a simulation model, LICAI+, that assumes that users store episodic records of correct steps discovered by exploration or told to them during training. They then use the application display and their goal as retrieval cues in attempts to recall these episodes later. The model predicts, and supporting data show, that tasks that violate the label-following strategy are not only hard to learn by exploration but also difficult to remember even if the correct steps have been previously presented.
