Final answer:
Action slips are when someone does something that's normal/automatized for a situation rather than what's desired.
Step-by-step explanation:
Doing something that's normal/automatized for a situation rather than what's desired is known as action slips. When the brain defaults to heuristics that produce a less-than-optimal result or even an incorrect decision, it is operating with a cognitive bias. Cognitive biases are patterns of quick thinking based on rules of thumb for drawing inferences, and they can lead to actions slips.
