This study investigated action slips, finding the process-dissociation procedure effective for separating automatic and controlled cognitive processes. Set size and response speed impacted controlled processes, while stimulus-response mapping influenced automatic processes.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Human Performance

Background:

  • Action slips, or errors in intended actions, arise from complex cognitive processes.
  • Understanding the interplay between automatic and controlled processes is crucial for explaining performance errors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the cognitive processes underlying action slips.
  • To differentiate the contributions of automatic and controlled processes to performance.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the process-dissociation procedure.
  • Employed a Sternberg memory-search task.
  • Manipulated set size, response speed, and stimulus-response mapping.

Main Results:

  • The process-dissociation procedure successfully separated automatic and controlled processes.

  • Set size and response speed affected controlled search processes but not automatic influences.
  • Stimulus-response mapping induced probability matching in automatic processes, irrespective of set size or speed.

    • Conclusions:

    • Automatic and controlled processes are distinct and differentially affected by task parameters.
    • The process-dissociation procedure offers a robust method for analyzing cognitive control and automaticity.
    • Findings provide insights into the mechanisms of action slips and cognitive error.
