Psychology of Human Error – 2025 Summit Session

Psychology of Human Error with Dr. Ralph Blessing
Dr. Ralph Blessing (PhD in Organizational Leadership), a Professor at Columbia Southern University and a contract TapRooT® Instructor since 2008, will lead this presentation on The Psychology of Human Error.
In any man-machine systems, human activities are required for monitoring, adjusting, maintenance, and other normal operations as well as for coping with unusual disturbances that place a system at risk. In general, each human, individually or as a member of a team, must perceive information from displays, environmental conditions, or procedural instructions about the state of the system or subsystem for which they are responsible. They must then process that information to determine what action or inaction they should take, and then take it. While this is a gross description of the role humans play in a man-machine system, the details of human interaction with a system are less easy to grasp or describe.
