User modeling

User modeling

User modeling is a sub-area of human-computer interaction, in which the researcher / designer develops cognitive models of human users, including modeling of their skills and declarative knowledge. User models can predict human error and learning time, and can thus serve as a cheaper alternative to user testing. User models can guide user interface designers to minimize error rates and learning time.

Sub-areas: student modeling.
