Cognitive ergonomics offers the potential to influence system development by describing how systems can be designed to improve the way cognitive functions are being performed. One means of taking cognitive functions into account is by developing cognitive models. Cognitive Task Analysis methods can be used to develop explanatory models of cognitive functions.
