“…The frequency of performance failures such as lexical-transposition errors, tip-of-the-tongue phenomena, phoneme intrusions, and so forth (see Brown & McNeill, 1966;Harley, 1984;MacKay, 1980;Motley, Baars, & Camden, 1983) makes clear that people may possess requisite knowledge and/or ability, and be sufficiently motivated, and yet still not perform in an adequate fashion. Further, it is significant that performance failures of this sort are not limited to lower-level features of behavior (see Greene & Geddes, 1993;Kuhl & Beckmann, 1985;Norman, 1981;Reason, 1979;Singley & Anderson, 1989). Thus, a person may posses information about effective conflict-management techniques, say, and be motivated to behave in an effective and appropriate manner, and yet still fail to employ those skills (see Bagarozzi, 1985;Bellack, Hersen, & Turner, 1978).…”
