The left hemisphere gets involved when stimuli and patterns are familiar and serves to establish automaticity of the task. |
Stolz's research looks into the cognitive processes that control attention and automaticity. |
Some volatile substances can reduce sinoatrial node automaticity and suppress cardiac conduction. |
These children are able to produce legible handwriting but they do not achieve automaticity of handwriting. |
Therefore, when children have mastered automaticity of handwriting, more attentional capacity is available for comprehension and problem solving. |
It's a job-share the whole way, between consciousness and automaticity, with attention being parcelled out in a few large and many tiny chunks. |
