Broader concept
Scope note
- The supervisory attentional system model was developed by Norman & Shallice to account for neuropsychological and everyday life data, such as slips of actions. It is a model of the attentional control of action, which operates at three levels: an automatic level, during which actions are performed without deliberate attention and triggered by internal or external cues, based on pre-existing routines; a semi-automatic level, when actions conflict, which will select the priority action to produce; a deliberate attentional level, when actions require planning, during decision-making, in new, poorly controlled, difficult or dangerous situations or in case of a problem during the execution of an action.
