PSYC3315 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Cadence Skill, Procedural Knowledge, Cognitive Load
Document Summary
Fitts & posner: 3 stages of skill acquisition: cognitive stage. List of operators (moves or acts: eg. First gear up & left, push on clutch, pull down gear shift, release foot: associative stage. Connections b/w elements strengthened through repetition: eg. Coordination clutch / gas pedals / gear shift & time: autonomous stage. Actions require little attention (rapid: eg. Shifting gears while talking & listening to music. Strategy refinement: when practicing a new task, we have many possible strats. Favor more effect strats: used more often, skill acquisition = becoming more efficient at choosing & using the appropriate strats. Anderson: act-r: aim to describe an architecture of all cognitive processes, production system based on production and application rules . Distinguishes b/w declarative & procedural knowledge: declarative: knowledge of facts, procedural: representation of what to do in a specific situation >> Describe application of production rules: production rule.
