Distraction and action slips in an everyday task: evidence for a dynamic representation of task context.
We report here a novel and counterintuitive effect of distraction on routine sequential action. The effect, predicted by a recent computational model of sequential behavior, relates to the tendency for a momentary distraction, such as a brief interruption, to lead to subsequent slips of action. The specific prediction is that errors should be more likely following a distraction occurring toward...
متن کاملCategorization of Action Slips Donald
A slip is the error that occurs when a person does an action that is not intended. In this article I examine several collections of slips, primarily of actions, with the aim of devising a theoretical explication. A theory of action is outlined in which an action sequence is represented by a parent schema and numerous child schemas, in which several action schemas can be active at any one time, ...
متن کاملThe slowing pace of life expectancy gains since 1950
BACKGROUND New technological breakthroughs in biomedicine should have made it easier for countries to improve life expectancy at birth (LEB). This paper measures the pace of improvement in the decadal gains of LEB, for the last 60-years adjusting for each country's starting point of LEB. METHODS LEB increases over the next 10-years for 139 countries between 1950 and 2009 were regressed on LEB...
متن کاملLearning to Prevent Task Interactions
Increasingly automated home, workplace, and industrial environments require programs capable of carrying out an ever wider assortment of tasks. As this trend continues, it will become increasingly difficult for computer programmers to anticipate all the ways in which these tasks may interact with one another. One solution to this problem is to attempt to automate the recognition of novel intera...
متن کاملNEMO Kinase Contributes to Core Period Determination by Slowing the Pace of the Drosophila Circadian Oscillator
The Drosophila circadian oscillator is comprised of transcriptional feedback loops that are activated by CLOCK (CLK) and CYCLE (CYC) and repressed by PERIOD (PER) and TIMELESS (TIM) [1]. The timing of CLK-CYC activation and PER-TIM repression is regulated posttranslationally, in part through rhythmic phosphorylation of CLK, PER, and TIM [2-4]. Although kinases that control PER and TIM levels an...
