*Features* Cover Type: Paperback with 316 pages Published by: Cambridge University Press Edition: 1st Edition October 26, 1990 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0521314194 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0521314190 Book Dimensions: 8.9 x 5.9 x 0.8 inches Weighs: 15.2 ounces *Product Review* "an in-depth analytical framework of human error" Journal of Perinatal & Neonatal Nursing "a comprehensive and often innovative treatment of human error that is both readable and informative." Gavan Lintern, Human Factors Society Bulletin *Book Description* Modern technology has now reached a point where improved safety can only be achieved through a better understanding of human error mechanisms. In its treatment of major accidents, the book spans the disciplinary gulf between psychological theory and those concerned with maintaining the reliabiblity of hazardous technologies. Much of the theoretical structure is new and original, and of particular importance is the identification of cognitive processes common to a wide variety of error types. *Reader Reviews* Anyone with any interest in error reduction, or in the way humans interact with technology should start here. The psychological analysis of how and why we commit errors is fascinating, and influences the way one thinks about daily events. I find myself saying "Aha, that was a capture error," and "Damn! I've fallen for the fundamental attribution error again." The real lesson is that errors derive from the very nature of human behavior--the mechanisms which enable us to solve complex problems also make errors inevitable. This realization changes entirely one's concept of industrial accidents and medical mistakes. Comment \| \| (Report this) Back To Top
