Logan, G. D. (1997). Automaticity and reading: Perspectives from the instance theory of automatization. Reading and Writing Quarterly, 13, 123-146.

The ability to process information automatically is an important aspect of many everyday skills, including reading. This article reviews the literature on automaticity and relates it to issues in reading. The main focus of the review is the instance theory of automaticity (Logan, 1988b, 1990, 1992), because it offers a unique perspective on automatization and has special relevance to reading.
