A

Controlled processing and Automatic processing

26
Q

What is Controlled processing?

A

Effortful, voluntary use of attention
Typically required for novel of difficult tasks
Slow but flexible

27
Q

What is Automatic processing?

A

Little to no conscious processing required
Fast but not flexible
Facilitates divided attention

28
Q

What is divided attention?

A

Simultaneous processing of information associated with engaging in multiple tasks

29
Q

What is the advantage to divided attention?

A

Adaptive

Good for relatively easy highly practiced, predictable tasks

30
Q

What are the limitations to divided attention:

A

Less effective if tasks require similar resources and/or difficult
Can impact other action

31
