Abstract
Based on ACT-R cognitive architecture, the paper proposes an integrated research and development platform to investigate astronaut’s cognitive behavior. By applying this platform, astronaut’s cognitive behavior model can be built; by abstracting the parameter of astronaut’s behavior, cognition and special task, the characteristic of astronaut’s cognitive processing can be analyzed; by software emulation technics, the astronaut’s cognition and behavior simulation platform is constructed, and the astronaut’s performance for special spaceflight task can be evaluated. As a study case, spacecraft manual control rendezvous and docking (RvD) task is chosen to investigate influential factors on human performance. The results show that, both the model’s simulating cognitive process and model’s running result are consistent with real situation, and the model’s specific parameter can map certain cognitive characteristic.
