Abstract

We describe the motivation for research aimed at extending predictive cognitive modeling of non-expert users to a broader population. Existing computational cognitive models have successfully predicted the navigation behavior of users exploring unfamiliar interfaces in pursuit of a goal. This paper explores factors that might lead to significant between-group differences in the exploratory behavior of users, with a focus on the roles of working memory, prior knowledge, and information-seeking strategies. Validated models capable of predicting novice goal-directed exploration of computer interfaces can be a valuable design tool. By using data from younger and older user groups to inform the development of such models, we aim to expand their coverage to a broader range of users.
