Action selection error probabilities in the construction-integration theory-based model of display-based human-computer interaction

The Kitajima and Polson model of display-based human-computer interaction (1992, 1994, in press) can make errors even if the model is provided with sufficient knowledge to perform correct actions. The major cause of errors is the failure to retrieve from long-term memory the knowledge necessary to select a correct action. This paper derives a set of mathematical formulae that calculate the probability of an error at a specific step in a task. This technique can replace a lengthy simulation runs that would be required to obtain reliable error probabilities. Each step in an example graph-drawing task is analyzed showing the factors that determine the likelihood of an error.
