automatic processing is when an action becomes automatic like once you have learned the action you just start doing the action. examples reading, writing, texting, driving, walking, playing video games.
Dual processing in psychology refers to the idea that the mind processes information using both conscious, deliberate processes (controlled processing) and unconscious, automatic processes (automatic processing) simultaneously. This dual system helps individuals efficiently navigate their environment and make decisions quickly, utilizing both cognitive resources and intuition.
Automatic processing is associated with implicit memory, while effortful processing is associated with explicit memory. Automatic processing occurs without conscious awareness, while effortful processing requires conscious effort and attention.
The information-processing theory attempts to explain cognitive development by observing and analyzing mental processes involved in perceiving information, storing information in memory, and using that information to solve problems. Social cognitive theory, on the other hand, focuses on how cognitive processes are influenced by social factors, such as observational learning and modeling.
The cognitive processing approach consists of three underlying components of intelligence: sensory processing, working memory, and executive function. Sensory processing involves taking in and interpreting information from the environment. Working memory is the capacity to hold and manipulate information in the mind. Executive function involves higher-level cognitive processes such as planning, problem-solving, and decision-making.
Cognitive economy refers to the brain's tendency to efficiently allocate mental resources to optimize processing and understanding of information. It involves the ability to prioritize and filter information in order to avoid cognitive overload and focus on what is most relevant or important.
