The [[Human Factors and Ergonomics Society]] (HFES) formed the Human Performance Modeling Technical Group in 2004. Although a recent discipline, [[Human factors and ergonomics|human factors]] practitioners have been constructing and applying models of human performance since [[World War II]]. Notable early examples of human performance models include Paul Fitts' model of aimed motor movement (1954),<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = Fitts | first1 = P.

(1964) work on signal detection.<ref>Swets, J. A., Tanner, W. P., & Birdsall, T. G. (1964). Decision processes in perception. ''Signal detection and recognition in human observers'', 3-57.</ref> It is suggested that the earliest developments in HPM arose out of the need to quantify human-system feedback for those military systems in development during WWII (see '''Manual Control Theory''' below)
