ABSTRACT
This chapter marks the beginning of the final section of the book, in which we develop our conclusions, describe our lessons learned, and define some of the implications for research. This particular chapter assumes some familiarity with the material that has preceded it, and we recommend the reader refer back to those earlier chapters as necessary. Chapter 2, for instance, describes the air traffic control (ATC) task, the experiment designs, and the human data in detail, and we do not repeat those details here. Similarly, the preceding four chapters (chaps. 4-7) provided detailed descriptions of the multitasking and category learning models developed by each of the modeling teams. The model description chapters were long and thorough by design to allow the modelers the opportunity to provide a complete account, in unusual depth, of their architectures and their modeling approach and implementation. This chapter is designed to provide a side-by-side comparative view of the models across a number of different dimensions.
