Abstract

A preliminary informatic model has previously accounted for information processing that represents the movement time of the human operator. However, the human operator response time is the sum of both reaction time (RT) and movement time (MT). The human informatic model described herein now also accounts for the additional information processing that occurs during choice RT. The final human operator informatic model (accounting for both MT and RT) is a transfer function of a linear and time invariant system (LTI) and is of single input-single output (SISO) configuration and has been applied to describe a feedforward human control system
