Human Behaviour

Question 1

Name the type of behaviour :

By constant repetition or routine we are able to acquire certain skills, which become stored in the skills memory, which we are able to execute without the constant attention of the brain. An example is selecting flap instead of gear on downwind, the skill initiates the action but the brain did not monitor the execution.

Answer 1

Skill-based behaviour

Sets of rules which are laid down to cater for predictable situations. As such they are stored in the long-term memory and require the conscious involvement of the brain. Simple examples include the forced landing procedure to be followed in the event of an engine failure in the case of a single-engined aeroplane, or the action to be taken in the even of one engine out in a multi-engined aircraft.

Answer 2

Rule-based behaviour
