Four Processing Modes of in situ Human BehaviorHuman behavior is considered as a series of moment by moment decision-makings in the ever-changing environment. Each decision-making process is carried out by System 1 and System 2 of Two Minds [3] under real time constraints, which basically requires synchronization between the workings of System 1 and System 2 in the real world by taking into account each system's characteristic times defined by Newell's time scale of action [4]. The result of decisionmaking is an event, that includes the direct output of decision-making, or behavior, and the resultant state of the external world. This paper proposes Four Processing Modes of in situ human behavior, consisting of before-event and after-event System 1 activities, and before-event and after-event System 2 activities for each event. Moment-by-moment decision-making process is regarded as a series of mental and physical actions performed in one of Four Processing Modes. This paper also provides evidence of Four Processing Modes from our field study concerning guide-sign supported navigation behavior at railway stations [9]. Download
