    These principles included assuming all students are capable of learning, engage students in student-centered work, address “higher order” issues alongside “lower-ordered” issues, integrate academic writing and reading instruction, and embrace the conflict between what they already know and what they need to learn (21). Mutnick and Lamos suggest that there are four major basic writer pedagogical approaches that go with theoretical changes since its conception. One of the four approaches is error centered, which is based on Shaughnessy’s theory of the logic of errors. They focus on the student’s errors he/she produces, view Standard Written English as “normative and neutral rather than ideological and culturally biased” and are still used to help students learn grammar conventions (22). Secondly, Academic-initiation approaches integrate reading and writing, hold basic writer students to the same expectations as “regular” students, defined by discourse theories rather than cognitive view of error, have a three-step process of comprehension, interpretation, and application, and Bartholomae’s theory of academic socialization underlies these approaches. Thirdly, critical approaches focus on “reforming unjust relations of power and privilege”, view the basic writer as having been “marginalized by mainstream societal exclusions and inequities with respect to race, class, gender, sexuality, language, and culture” (25).…

    The purpose of much research into radio-diagnostic error is to understand the visual search methods (process) and the perceptive and cognitive processes (performance) used in the interpretation of medical images. Investigation into the reasons for radiological error began more than fifty years ago after a study comparing radiological techniques failed to provide an answer because of significant variability in the performance of the subjects used for the task [1].

    but nevertheless, we are prone to perceptual errors, or attribution biases, based on our own expectations. Often our expectations are based on assumptions that we have made about people. The fundamental attribution error refers to when we over-emphasize the role of dispositional factors in explaining other people’s behavior while minimizing the role of situational factors (Attribution (psychology), 2017).
