Paper is based on observations of train drivers at work, and defines certain kinds of errors which may be made by drivers in perceiving railroad signals; it discusses hypotheses relating incidence of error to various factors; it is suggested that investigation of hypotheses of this kind, derived from observation of normal performance of operative, is valid method of accident study.
