Knowledge-based errors happen when you intend to act but your lack of knowledge prevents you from choosing or executing a correct plan. In situations that require you to reason or improvise without a pre-set rule, you rely on what you know. If that knowledge is incomplete or incorrect, your planned action is likely to fail in achieving the desired outcome. For example, in drone practice, attempting a maneuver without understanding how the aircraft will respond to a given input in the current wind conditions can lead to an outcome that misses the goal.

Rule-based errors occur when you have the right rules but apply them incorrectly or choose an inappropriate rule. Perception errors come from misreading the environment or sensor data, leading you to act on wrong information. Change blindness is a perceptual failure where you fail to notice a change in the visual field, not a deficiency in knowledge.
