Increasing Automaticity
<p>Automaticity is defined as the process of developing fluency in mathematics and the ability to answer a basic math problem routinely. Automaticity is one of the most important skills that a student can possess in mathematics. While there are many ways that an educator can implement strategies to …

Retrieval strategies in memory-based automaticity
… to the role of attention in memory-based automaticity is presented. The retrieval strategy hypothesis asserts that people attend to stimuli in whatever way will optimize the retrieval of past solutions from memory. Different retrieval strategies can compete against each other over time, …

Automaticity and Control in the Effect of Arousal on Persuasion
The study failed to detect the mediating role of accessibility and attribution. This failure is likely to be due to issues related to the measurement sequence. However, the study did show differences in the moderating role of awareness under the different processing strategy conditions. The results …

A comparison of process and memory-based theories of automaticity
Process and memory-based theories of automaticity are contrasted by manipulating the information contained in primary memory. Process-based theories predict that performance will be modulated by the information contained in primary memory, while memory-based theories predict that performance which …

Electrophysiological mechanism of ventricular automaticity : a model foe ventricular arrythmias
… drugs. This project seeks to establish automaticity as a model for studying ventricular arrhythmias. Objectives 1. To review the literature on the mechanism of ventricular arrhythmias. 2. To explore ventricular automaticity induced by "reperfusion" after O₂ and substrate deprivation. 3 . …

Identifying the Neural Correlates of Motor Sequence Learning and Movement Automaticity
… involvement in processes such as movement automaticity, stimulus-response conflicts, explicit learning, and retrieval, to name a few. However, it is difficult for neuroimaging studies to evaluate the relative permanence of motor sequence learning due to the financial burden associated with …

Metacognitive Instruction in L2 French: An Analysis of Listening Performance and Automaticity
… to improve listening comprehension and the automaticity of listening processes. Metacognition can be described as focusing attention on the cognitive processes one is currently using. In the classroom, metacognitive listening instruction means guiding learners in applying metacognition to …

Transfer of automatic skills: the role of automaticity in skill acquisition and transfer
Skill acquisition theories suggest that automaticity of lower-level processes is required before the acquisition of higher-level skills can be attempted. However, there is a disparity between the theoretical expectations of skill acquisition and the empirical findings in the transfer of training …

Automaticity and Hemispheric Specialization in Emotional Expression Recognition: Examined using a modified Stroop Task
… focus of this investigation was to examine the automaticity of facial expression recognition through valence judgments in a modified photo-word Stroop paradigm. Positive and negative words were superimposed across male and female faces expressing positive (happy) and negative (angry, sad) …

Processing Phenomena and the Dissociation Between Subjective and Objective Workload Measures (Cognition, Automaticity, Verbal Reports)
… Sternberg task configurations varied in the automaticity of performance, stimulus presentation rate, discernability of stimuli, and the value of good performance. Automaticity in Sternberg task performance was manipulated by using two independent sets of stimuli; one of which was consistently …

The Influence of Dopaminergic Medication on Gait and Balance Automaticity and Nonlinear Regularity in Parkinson’s Disease
… studies have shown that gait and balance automaticity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is significantly diminished. It is also well accepted that dopaminergic medication improves single-task gait and some aspects of balance. Yet, how dopaminergic medication influences gait and balance …

The effect of using technology and self-monitoring to teach basic facts to children at risk
… or not the use of technology would increase automaticity of basic subtraction facts with "at risk" students and whether or not self-monitoring would motivate "at risk" students to improve their math scores to achieve automaticity of basic subtraction facts. Participants included four …

Investigating Interventions in Fine-grained Contexts for Habit Formation
… Habit Index (SRHI) and Self-Report Behavioral Automaticity Index (SRBAI) to measure habit formation and habit automaticity, respectively. For mobile, physical-world behavior change, the survey of needs (N=53 participants) indicated that participants want diverse and personalized behavior change …

Effect of Attentional Focus on Learning and Performance in Youth Sports
… include cognitive resources, working memory, automaticity of motor movements, conscious control for propensity, attentional focus, and acquisition of motor-skills. Due to significant differences between athletes, not all instructions and feedback provided by coaches are best suited for every …

Building Good Habits. Longitudinal Studies on Malleable Psychological Factors, Reduced Motivational Interference, and Facilitated Goal Attainment
… these external attacks by increased behavioral automaticity, which translates to: building habits. Building habits is simple, but not easy: repeat a behavior in a stable context. A habit is an automatized behavioral sequence (e.g., summarizing lecture slides) that is triggered by a context cue …

Differential acquisition of automatic responses among high and low hypnotizable subjects
… relation between hypnotizability and perceptual automaticity. The major issues discussed included the convergence of subjective reports from high hypnotizable (HH) subjects regarding the nonvolitional or automatic nature of hypnotic responding. The nature of these experiences contrasts with the …

Encoding sex ratio information: automatic or effortful?
… and estimated sex ratio suggest a level of automaticity. Experiment 2 found a strong correlation between the ASR of conditions and estimates, suggesting that individuals do not encode OSR over ASR. Experiments 3.a. and 3.b. demonstrated automaticity in estimates of sex ratio from briefly …

The Relationship of Attention and Semantic Priming: Semantic Priming Is Conditionally Automatic
… The current experiments test the conditional automaticity hypothesis that automatic semantic priming is conditional upon attention, that subjects show semantic priming for attended primes, but not for unattended primes. Three experiments using a focused attention paradigm find support for this …

The Effect of Prosody Instruction on Reading Fluency and Comprehension Among Third-Grade Students
… which is the objective of reading. The automaticity plus prosody (APP) model was developed by this researcher from Topping’s deep processing fluency model to explain why teaching and assessing the multiple dimensions of fluency (rate, accuracy, and prosody) improve comprehension. The …
