From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The word
error has different meanings and
usages relative to how it is conceptually applied.

However, some errors can occur even when individuals have the
required knowledge to perform a task correctly. Examples include
forgetting to collect change after buying chocolate from a vending
machine, forgetting the original document after making photocopies,
and forgetting to turn the gas off after cooking a meal. These slip
errors can occur when an individual is distracted by something
else.
Human
behavior
One reference differentiates between "error" and "
mistake" as follows:
An ‘error' is a deviation from accuracy or correctness. A
‘mistake' is an error caused by a fault: the fault being
misjudgment, carelessness, or forgetfulness. Now, say that I run a
stop sign because I was in a hurry, and wasn't concentrating, and
the police stop me, that is a mistake. If, however, I try to park
in an area with conflicting signs, and I get a ticket because I was
incorrect on my interpretation of what the signs meant, that would
be an error. The first time it would be an error.

In
human
behavior the norms or expectations for behavior or its
consequences can be derived from the intention of the actor or from
the expectations of other individuals or of a social grouping or
from
social norms. (See
deviance.) Gaffes and
faux pas can be labels for certain instances
of this kind of error. More serious departures from social norms
carry labels such as misbehavior and labels from the legal system,
such as
misdemeanor
and
crime. Departures from norms
connected to religion can have other labels, such as
sin.

Gaffe
A
gaffe is a verbal mistake, usually made in a
social
environment. The mistake may come from saying something that is
true, but inappropriate. It may also be an erroneous attempt to
reveal a truth. Finally, gaffes can be
malapropisms, grammatical errors or other
verbal and gestural weaknesses or revelations through
body language.

A grammatical or literary error is more embarrassing in the

errors of science can be embarrassing among scientists or doctors.

Philosophers and
psychologists interested in the nature of the gaffe include Freud
and
Gilles
Deleuze. Deleuze, in his
Logic of Sense, places the
gaffe in a developmental process that can culminate in
stuttering.

between a computed, estimated, or measured value and the true,

(In
computational mechanics, when
solving a system such as
Ax =
b there
is a distinction between the "error" — the inaccuracy in
x
— and
residual—the inaccuracy
in
Ax.)
Errors in a system can also be latent
design errors that may go unnoticed for years,
until the right set of circumstances arises that cause them to
become active. See also
Observational error.
Cybernetics
The word
cybernetics stems from the
Greek Κυβερνήτης
(
kybernētēs, steersman, governor, pilot, or rudder — the
same root as
government). In applying corrections to the
trajectory or course being steered
Cybernetics can be seen as the most general
approach to error and its correction for the achievement of any
goal. The term was suggested by
Norbert Wiener to describe a new science
of control and information in the animal and the machine. Wiener's
early work was on
noise.
The cybernetician
Gordon Pask held that the error that drives
a
servomechanism can be seen as a
difference between a pair of analogous concepts in a
servomechanism: the current state and the goal state). Later he
suggested error can also be seen as an innovation or a
contradiction depending on the context and perspective of
interacting (observer) participants. The founder of
management cybernetics,
Stafford Beer, applied these ideas most
notably in his
Viable System Model.
Biology
In
biology, an
error is said to occur when perfect fidelity is

In
baseball, an

official scorer when a
runner advances a base because of a
fielding mistake, and perfect play would have prevented the
advancement, and the mistake was physical. Mental misjudgments are
not errors.

The
Freedom of
information act provides American citizenry with a means to
read intelligence reports that were mired in error. Per United
States Central Intelligence Agency's website (as of August, 2008)
intelligence error is described as:
"Intelligence errors are factual inaccuracies in analysis
resulting from poor or missing data; intelligence failure is
systemic organizational surprise resulting from incorrect, missing,
discarded, or inadequate hypotheses."

Because the U.S.
Bureau
of the Mint keeps a careful eye on all potential errors, errors
on U.S. coins are very few and usually very scarce. Examples of
numismatic errors: extra metal attached to a coin, a clipped coin
caused by the coin stamp machine stamping a second coin too early,
double stamping of a coin. A coin that has been overdated, eg:
1942/41, is considered an error.
Error
correction
Norman (1986, 1988) argued that because error is inevitable,
‘designers’ should minimize the causes of error, make it possible
to undo erroneous actions and make it easier to discover and
correct errors. Edmondson’s research focuses on pinpointing
specific conditions on group levels which can influence the degree
of errors caught and corrected.

b) Unit performance

Unit leader behaviours are crucial in creating a culture in
which openness of discussing errors, through their open and
stimulating behaviour, are used as an example for the others. The
unit performance outcomes consist of factors such as quality of
interpersonal relations, unit performance and detected error rates.
The leader behaviour and the performance outcomes result in shared
beliefs.

Further, the more
errors are reported and discussed, the bigger the incentive should
be to report and solve other errors.
Jones (1999) adds that technocratic movements have a positive
influence on error correction due improved communication.
Technological improvements stimulate collaborate thinking and
striving for optimalization of systems. Through this, error
correction is maximalized. Tsuvijek (1988) implies how technology
on one hand can improve error correction, but on the other hand
cause more errors due to decreased human intervention.
In mathematics, computer science, telecommunication, and
information theory, error correction has a very precise meaning
discussed in the article about
error detection and
correction.
