Fundamental Attribution Error01:14

Fundamental Attribution Error

13.5K
According to some social psychologists, people tend to overemphasize internal factors as explanations—or attributions—for the behavior of other people. They tend to assume that the behavior of another person is a trait of that person, and to underestimate the power of the situation on the behavior of others. They tend to fail to recognize when the behavior of another is due to situational variables, and thus to the person’s state. This erroneous assumption is...

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

42.4K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Theory of Attribution II: Kelley's Covariation Theory

260
Attribution theory plays a crucial role in social psychology, helping to explain how individuals interpret the causes of behavior. One prominent model within this field is Harold Kelley's covariation theory, which provides a systematic approach to determining whether internal traits or external circumstances drive a person's actions. The model posits that individuals rely on three key types of information—consensus, consistency, and distinctiveness—to make these judgments.Consensus:...

Theory of Attribution I: Correspondent Inference Theory

227
Correspondent inference theory, proposed by Jones and Davis in 1965, seeks to explain how individuals infer stable personality traits from observed behaviors. It suggests that people attribute actions to underlying dispositions rather than external circumstances, particularly when the behavior appears intentional and socially significant.Voluntary Behavior and Dispositional AttributionAccording to this theory, individuals are more likely to attribute behavior to personal traits when it appears...

Correspondence Bias01:17

Correspondence Bias

100
Correspondence bias, also referred to as the fundamental attribution error, describes the tendency to attribute another person’s behavior to internal characteristics rather than situational influences. This cognitive bias leads individuals to overlook external factors that may be influencing actions, thereby fostering potentially inaccurate assessments of others’ intentions and dispositions.Empirical Evidence for Correspondence BiasResearch has consistently demonstrated the...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

43.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Summary

People adapt movements by attributing errors to internal or external sources. External error attribution reduces implicit motor learning, but proprioception recalibration remains unaffected, demonstrating its implicit nature.

Area of Science:

  • Motor learning and control
  • Human sensorimotor adaptation
  • Cognitive neuroscience of movement

Background:

  • Individuals attribute movement errors to internal or external sources during adaptation.
  • External error attribution is hypothesized to reduce implicit motor learning and internal model updates.
  • Previous studies showed implicit learning measures were unaffected by explicit adaptation instructions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how attributing errors to external sources impacts implicit motor learning and internal model updates.
  • To determine if explicit error source attribution influences implicit processes like proprioception recalibration.
  • To differentiate the roles of internal models and proprioception in sensorimotor adaptation under external error conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed reaching movements under conditions designed to emphasize external error sources (demonstrating rotation or showing the hand).
  • Implicit learning was assessed through reach aftereffects.
  • Estimates of hand position were measured to probe internal model updates and sensory predictions.

Main Results:

  • Implicit reach aftereffects persisted but were reduced in both external error groups.
  • Viewing the hand during training led to reduced updates in predicted sensory consequences.
  • Proprioception recalibration occurred independently of explicit error source attribution.

Conclusions:

  • Motor learning involves error source attribution, influencing hand position estimation.
  • Proprioceptive recalibration is an implicit process, robust against external error attribution.
  • Explicitly attributing errors externally does not abolish implicit motor adaptation but modulates its components.
