Homework

1.      Wikipedia: "Automaticity"
2.      Wikipedia: "Cognitive Load"

1)     In your own words, what is "automaticity"?

Automaticity I the ability to do something without using the mind, it means no think what we are doing, it is made by inertia.

2)     How do we develop automaticity?

We develop it through the time because of our everyday, for example: we go to school everyday so we do it by inertia, we bike because the most of time every children bike and they don’t think what they are doing.

3)     Create an example of how teachers can change the amount of     
     "extraneous cognitive load" on an assignment?

I think the student should select the most important parts of any text or content, and when they understand those more important parts, it will be clearer for them to understand it.

4)     When have you felt that you had a "full" cognitive load?

When I have been study something which is very interesting and it like to me, it help me to load that thing in my memory for a long time.
