Most tasks that are performed are a series of mental processes. When learning a new process, an old automated process can prevent learning-learning to swing a tennis racket after learning to swing a baseball bat- advance learning- throwing almost any object- or do nothing- knowing proper running form will not affect the previous two tasks.Īll processes begin as controlled processes. These processes can interfere, support, or have no effect on one another.
