For the past two years has been studying what he terms slips of action in other words absent , the head of the University of Manchester department of psychology sees a relationship Between certain Catas trophic accidents and everyday absent minded behaviour. When we hear of a much publicized disaster we believe it was the result of a monumental error the 40-Yeac-old psychologist said. But what determines the Gravity of an error Are the circumstances. An absent minded error in daily life can be comical but the same mistake in a Passen Ger aircraft can be  his interest in absent mindedness grew from simply Reading about air Craft accidents. In looking at the accidents it seemed that some involved errors which if they occurred at Home misreading instruments hitting the wrong switch would Bear a Strong resemblance to everyday absent mindedness.
