Abstract:

This is the final report for a project that was in a series of projects on the development and validation of the EPIC cognitive architecture for modeling human cognition and performance. This project focussed on extending the architecture to account for sound and speech phenomena, with emphasis on multichannel speech comprehension in a simple command-and-control task for which considerable empirical data is available. Additional work concerned application of the EPIC architecture to Navy research problems.
