Task Analysis examples

"Many of the day-to-day behaviors in which we engage without even thinking about them are really quite complex, comprised of many smaller, discrete, singular, specific sub-behaviors that we perform in a certain order. Consider "one" behavior done easily even when you are tired and distracted: Brushing your teeth. When you think about it (which we rarely do), brushing is really a bunch of distinct simple behaviors performed one after another. Just analyze the task (Ah ha! Now you know where the name came from)."
