What Is a Rule Based Error

rule-based mistakes: errors due to the choice of the wrong rule due to an erroneous perception of the situation, or omissions in the application of a rule; knowledge-based mistakes: mistakes due to lack of knowledge or incorrect application.

What is rule-based in human error?

Rule-based and knowledge-based mistakes are made when the person’s action went exactly as planned — they just did the wrong thing believing it to be correct. In a rule-based mistake, the person makes a bad decision through the use or misuse of a rule (either the correct rule or a bad rule).

What is a knowledge based error?

Knowledge-based mistakes—learning from first principles, mistakes made during problem solving, for example, those subject to attributional biases.
