Describe the process of automatization
What will be an ideal response?
A widely accepted view has been that during the course of practice, implementation of the various steps becomes more efficient. A person gradually combines individual effortful steps into integrated components that are further integrated until the whole process is one single operation. This operation requires few or no cognitive resources, such as attention.
An alternative explanation, called instance theory, was proposed by Logan (1988). Logan suggested that automatization occurs because we gradually accumulate knowledge about specific responses to specific stimuli. The effects of practice on automatization show a negatively accelerated curve. In such a curve, early practice effects are great. Later practice effects make less and less difference in the degree of automatization.
