The term is not widely standardized and is used as a generic label for processing errors across disciplines.
In psychology and neuroscience, misprocessing denotes errors in perception, attention, encoding, or interpretation that lead to
In information technology and data processing, misprocessing occurs when a system produces incorrect outputs from valid
Consequences range from minor inconveniences to safety risks and financial loss. Mitigation strategies include validation and
Misprocessing is related to processing errors, cognitive biases, data integrity, and software bugs, and is used
