Abstract
Abstract Abstract. The development of a representational framework, based on Moran's Command Language Grammar, for constructing adaptive computer systems is the main topic of this paper. A model of the user interface is developed of which two aspects are discussed: the mental model in the mind of the user and the perceptual model on the side of the machine. Cognitive style and personality factors are considered in their relation to the development of the mental model. The concept of metacommunication is analysed and discussed on all levels of Moran's CLG.

Results for all samples significantly replicated the extraversion and stimulation-seeking relationship and impulsivity was generally found to be of slightly greater magnitude in its relation to stimulation- seeking than was sociability.

Support is found for the conclusions of Sime et al. that NEST seems to have superior properties compared with GOTO, in that it is less difficult to learn and will lead to correct programs more easily, and depth of embedding should be minimized by introducing logical connectives, or by allowing tests for more than two possibilities at the same time.

This paper considers some of the major human factors requirements and describes an approach to translating them into design standards which can be implemented and starts from a consideration of user activity and develops into a language interface which could reside in layers of the reference model.

Basic Cognitive Skills, as measured by standard cognitive ability tests, are not shown to be helpful in predicting programming proficiency, whereas chunking appears to be a useful method for determining computer proficiency.

The initial analysis indicates that there is an initial performance effect favoring computer controlled dialogue but the advantage fades fast as operators become experienced, and the user documentation style is seen to have a significant effect on performance.
