Abstract :
Nonlinear causal resource analysis (NCRA) is a new method for task analysis and prediction of human performance based on resource economic performance modeling. This method was investigated in an upper extremity coordinated movement task. Prediction accuracy obtained supports the validity of NCRA as an alternative to regression models as a prediction tool
