==== Routine Cognitive Skill ====

One area of memory and cognition regards modeling routine cognitive skills; when an operator has the correct knowledge of how to perform a task and simply needs to execute that knowledge. This is widely applicable, as many operators are practiced enough that their procedures become routine. The GOMS (goals, operators, methods, and selection rules) family of Human Performance Models popularized and well-defined by researchers in the field (Card et al., 1983; John & Kieras, 1996a, 1996b) were originally applied to model users of computer interfaces, but have since been extended to other areas. They are useful HPM tools, suitable for a variety of different concerns and sizes of analysis, but are limited in regard to analyzing user error (see Wood & Kieras, 2002, for an effort to extend GOMS to handling errors).<ref name=":1" />

</ref> The most useful model in HPM is that of McCarley et al. (2002) known as the [http://hsi.arc.nasa.gov/groups/HCSL/publications/mccargohhorhf02.pdf '''A-SA model'''] (Attention/Situation Awareness). It incorporates two semi-independent components: a perception/attention module and a cognitive SA-updated module.<ref name=":2" /> The P/A model of this A-SA model is based on the Theory of Visual Attention.<ref>Bundesen, C.
