Publications by Gordon LoganLogan, G. D. (1985). Skill and automaticity: Relations, implications, and future directions. Canadian Journal of Psychology, 39, 367-386.Argues that automaticity and skill are closely related but are not identical. Automatic processes are components of skill, but skill is more than the sum of the automatic components. Automaticity and skill are similar in that both are learned through practice. Implications are discussed for (1) current studies of the co-occurrence of properties of automaticity, (2) the relation between multiple resources and automaticity, and (3) the relation between control and automaticity. It is concluded that many of the issues in automaticity may be resolved or at least revised by considering the role that automatic processes play in performing a skill. |
