Some researchers have argued that the dichotomy of human actions as "correct" or "incorrect" is a harmful oversimplification of a complex phenomenon. [16] [17] A focus on the variability of human performance and how human operators (and organizations) can manage that variability, may be a more fruitful approach. Newer approaches, such as ...
Gerd Gigerenzer has criticized the framing of cognitive biases as errors in judgment, and favors interpreting them as arising from rational deviations from logical thought. [ 6 ] Explanations include information-processing rules (i.e., mental shortcuts), called heuristics , that the brain uses to produce decisions or judgments.
Transposition errors are almost always human in origin. The most common way for characters to be transposed is when a user is touch typing at a speed that makes them input a later character before an earlier one; or simply fails to keep the correct order in their internal memory while transcribing the text.
Tversky and Kahneman explained human differences in judgment and decision-making in terms of heuristics. Heuristics involve mental shortcuts which provide swift estimates about the possibility of uncertain occurrences. [13] Heuristics are simple for the brain to compute but sometimes introduce "severe and systematic errors."
Research on attribution biases is founded in attribution theory, which was proposed to explain why and how people create meaning about others' and their own behavior.This theory focuses on identifying how an observer uses information in his/her social environment in order to create a causal explanation for events.
Don Norman suggests changing the common technical attitude towards user error: Don't think of the user as making errors; think of the actions as approximations of what is desired. [ 6 ]
