When he came to analyze their embarrassing lapses in a scientific
45、report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random.One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. “The explanation for thi
46、s is that the brain is like a computer,“ explains the professor. “People program themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the womans custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the program.“ About one in twenty
47、of the incidents the volunteers reported were these “program assembly failures.“Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing-an average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest, These are two hours some time
48、between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. “Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain programs occurs, as for instance between going to and from work.“ Women on average reported slightly more lapses-12.5 compared with 10.9 for men-probably because they were more reliable reporters.A startling finding of the research is that the absent-minded activity is a hazard of doing things in which we are skilled. Normally, you would expect that skill reduces the number of errors we make. But trying to avoid silly
