|
Strong procedural memory leads to what? |
Automaticity |
|
|
What is automaticity? |
The ability to do things without occupying the mind with the low level details required, allowing it to become an automatic response pattern or habit. Highly practiced. Can be carried out rapidly. Requires few mental resources. Once you can do it automatically, it has low cognitive load. |

|
|
What is mapping? |
A special relationship between the element. |
|
|
What are the three levels of natural mapping? |
Best mapping: controls are mounted directly on the item to be controlled. Second-best mapping: controls are as close as possible to the object to be controlled. Third-best mapping: controls are arranged in the same spatial configuration as the objects to be controlled. |
|
|
