Automaticity and Cognitive Load
AUTOMACITY AND COGNITIVE LOAD
1. Automaticity is when we do something even without thinking ,when we learn an action by doing it over and over again finally we automatically perform the action, examples are: riding a bike, driving , operating computers or machinery all these becomes a habit . It also happens with human behavior we use “automatic response patterns” to respond before a stimulus even without noticing it like if someone issues a request we tend to answer automatically.
2. We develop automaticity by repeating an action over and over again by learning how to do it and by practice, as the saying goes: “Practice makes perfect”.
3. A good example on how teachers can change the amount of “exrenous cognitive load” in an assignment would be by having a good lesson plan before starting the activitiy , giving clear instructions and by making a “Rubric” so the students know what is expected of them. It is also positive to base the knowledge in what they understand. When the “Cognitive Load” is to much it´s also good idea to give more time for the assignments to be handed in.
4. When I have an accumulation of tasks in different subjects together with activities in my job, I feel that the cognitive load is to much and my memory des not work to well.

METHODOLOGY II
COMMUNITY LANGUAGE TEACHING
For this principle we chose an activity that would make students feel a sense of community ,asking them to tell class what will they do with their lifes with a huge amount of money,as well as letting students express their deepest wishes and the possibility to make them come true.
GRAMMAR ACTIVITY
USING 2nd CONDITIONAL, DESCRIBE WHAT YOU WILL DO IN THE FUTURE IF YOU WIN THE LOTTO .
Exercises-In pairs of 2 ask each other this question and then tell class what your partners future plans are.
Example: what would you do?
-If I win the lotto, I would visit my Grandparents in Canada
2. Use these verbs and transform them into future phrases using the 2nd conditional.
Ex:
1. Study – If I win the lotto, I would study art.
2. Buy - If I win the lotto, I would buy a Porshe
3. Travel - If I win the lotto, I would travel to mars.
