Identify and discuss at least three errors that are commonly made during the execution of automatic processes
What will be an ideal response?
• Capture errors: Intending to deviate from a routine activity we are implementing in familiar surroundings, but at a point at which we should depart from the routine, we fail to pay attention and to regain control of the process; hence, the automatic process captures our behavior, and we fail to deviate from the routine.
• Omissions: An interruption of a routine activity may cause us to skip a step(s) in implementing the remaining portion of the routine.
• Perseverations: After completing an automatic procedure, one or more steps of the procedure may be repeated.
• Description errors: An internal description of the intended behavior leads to performing the correct action on the wrong object.
• Data-driven errors: Incoming sensory information may override the intended variables in an automatic action sequence.
• Associative-activation errors: Strong associations may trigger the wrong automatic routine.
• Loss-of-activation errors: The activation of a routine may be insufficient to carry it through to completion.
