Causes and Effects of Perception Errors
ABSTRACT
This paper proposes that both Information Warfare attacks and non-intentional perception errors can be categorised as causes of misperception. The causes of misperception are then analysed in the terms of Boyd’s OODA loop model to determine when they cause errors to occur. The OODA loop model is then expanded to produce a theoretical model of the internal process of the Orientation step of the OODA loop. One of these errors is then explained in greater detail with the new model.
