HOMEWORK:

Plan a description of the perfect everyday error in the diary of self-observation:

1. Place and time of the error
2. Description of the erroneous action (what was the original plan (condition of the problem being solved), how the implementation took place (what actions, thoughts, emotions accompanied this process), what was the result)
3. What circumstances prompted the intention to perform this action?
4. What circumstances preceded the action?
5. What circumstances accompanied the execution of the action?
6. What people, animals and objects were present in the performance situation? What is your attitude towards them?
7. At what point did you realize that you were making a mistake? Has anything contributed to this?
8. Is this a typical mistake for you? How many cases can you remember when you made such a mistake?

Plan psychological analysis of the error:

1. To what area of ​​the psyche does an error belong: perception, attention, memory, thinking, the metacognitive sphere, a combination of signs of different errors?

2. To which category does this error fall?

3. What are the possible internal causes of this error: emotion, inattention, incompetence, suggestion, impulsivity, psychological defense, etc.?

4. What are the external factors that contributed to the appearance of the error: specially created sensory stimulation, distraction of attention by unexpected events, errors of other persons, violation of the routine course of events, the conscious creation of a confusing situation by others, etc.?

5. Possible theoretical explanations
