Abstract: In order to explore and enrich the theoretical model of accident causation from the perspective of information cognition, based on cognitive psychology theory and information processing process, the information dissemination method was used to built an SIC accident model composed of external process and internal process. The model includes three major noise disturbances, five feedback links, nine kinds of time delay phenomena and 10 times signal attenuation phenomena. The security information transmission process and its connotation were studied. The lack of security information and attenuation phenomena and dynamic feedback mechanism were revealed. From the perspectives of developing theory of accidents, establishing the disciplines, improving the system and guiding accident investigation, the theoretical significance and practical value of the model were examined. The results show that SIC is operationable and provides a new analysis strategy for accident causation research.

Key words: safety information cognitive (SIC), accident causation, cognitive psychology, loss and attenuation, empirical case
