Automatic Behavior
Automatic behavior refers to performing tasks without consciously thinking about them. Behaviors may be repeated daily routines, but inappropriate actions can also occur. Putting milk into a cabinet or laundry into a dishwasher are examples of inappropriate automatic behavior.1Miglis, Mitchell G., et al. ‘Frequency and Severity of Autonomic Symptoms in Idiopathic Hypersomnia.’ Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 15 May 2020, jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8344
Engaging in automatic behavior can be dangerous if drivers make a turn or miss an exit without thinking. Automatic behavior at work may have serious consequences, such as a medication error in a hospital or an unsecured beam at a construction site.1Miglis, Mitchell G., et al. ‘Frequency and Severity of Autonomic Symptoms in Idiopathic Hypersomnia.’ Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, 15 May 2020, jcsm.aasm.org/doi/10.5664/jcsm.8344
