Norman and Shallice SAS theory stands for :

  • A.Superficial Attention State
  • B.Supervisory Attentional System
  • C.Scheduling Action Schemata
  • D.Schemata Action System

Answer: B

SAS stands for Supervisory Attentional System.

In Norman and Shallice's model of the control of action, routine behaviour is run automatically by schemas, and conflicts among them are resolved by contention scheduling. The Supervisory Attentional System is a higher-level system that takes over in novel, difficult or dangerous situations, or when habits must be overridden, and it is linked to the frontal lobes.

The other expansions are not the model's terms. Contention scheduling and schemas are parts of the model, but neither is what SAS stands for.
