Human Behavior Experiments and the Psychology of Error
Update: 2025-03-05
Description
Human behavior experiments like the Loftus and Palmer misinformation effect, Stroop effect, and Milgram’s obedience study reveal how memory distortions, attention failures, authority bias, social conformity, and cognitive biases influence human error. These psychological mechanisms explain why people misremember events, overlook critical details, follow flawed instructions, or make poor decisions under pressure. By understanding these errors—ranging from inattentional blindness to false memory creation—organizations can design better systems to minimize mistakes, improve decision-making, and enhance safety and productivity.
