Skills-Rules-Knowledge model

The related conceptual model is known as the SRK (Skill-Rule-Knowledge) model. 

The Skills-Rules-Knowledge (S-R-K) model has been proposed as a framework for classifying human performance. It divides mental processes in plant operation into three performance levels ...

The following list divides types of unsafe acts into those that are skill-hased, perceptual, and decision or knowledge-based. (Note that this division is different from the skills-rules-model knowledge-based model described earlier.) Examples are given of each type of error that may result in an unsafe act.( )... 

In this thesis the most important implication of this model is the prediction that different types of errors (Skill-, Rule-, or Knowledge-based) imply different types of preventive measures. ... 

As was discussed in Chapter 2 Rasmussen has provided the basic model of human error based on three levels of behaviour skill-, rule- and knowledge-based (S-B, R-B, K-B). This SRK model has been operationalised to describe operator errors in process control tasks by combining it with characteristic task elements, which as a whole cover the entire spectrum of operator subtasks. 

The human factors literature is rich in behavioral and cognitive models of human performance. Because of space limitations, however, only three generic models of human performance will be presented here. They have found extensive applications. Section 2.1 presents a behavioral model developed by Wickens (1992), the human information-processing model. Sections 2.2 and 2.3 present two cognitive models, the action-cycle model of Norman (1988) and the skill-, rule-, and knowledge-based model of Rasmussen (1986).
