First, state what each letter in GOMS stands for and define each term. Second, create a simple GOMS model for the following situation: a user wants to turn on a movie on their living room television, which they can do by either controlling the television with a remote control or by interacting with it via a voice interface (like Alexa). Your GOMS model can be created in text outline form: just make sure to label what parts of the model correspond to the G, O, M, and S. Third, briefly describe how a cognitive task analysis model would be different from a GOMS model. Note that there is no one single right answer to this question. There are multiple possible models that could be created. Similarly, a cognitive task analysis model may differ in multiple ways; we are looking for you to demonstrate an understanding of what a cognitive task analysis model does differently.
