How does the brain acquire and retain complex motor kills? In a well-known zen story, a centipede was asked how he could coordinate all of his numerous feet without stumbling. The centipede said that he had never given it a thought. From that time on, the centipede became unable to move.

Attaining Automaticity in the Visual Numerosity Task is Not Automatic [PDF]
This experiment is a replication of experiments reported by Lassaline and Logan (1993) using the visual numerosity task. The aim was to replicate the transition from controlled to automatic processing reported by Lassaline and Logan (1993), and to examine the extent to which this result, reported with average group results, can be observed in the ...

Is rapid automatized naming automatic?
According to Segalowitz and Segalowitz (1993), a process becomes automatic when the mean response time, its standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation (standard deviation/mean response time) decrease across time. To examine whether rapid automatized naming (RAN) reflects automatic processing, we retrospectively traced the development of RAN ...

Automaticity in the reading circuitry [PDF]
AbstractSkilled reading requires years of practice associating visual symbols with speech sounds. Over the course of the learning process, this association becomes effortless and automatic. Here we test whether automatic activation of spoken-language circuits in response to visual words is a hallmark of skilled reading.

When the eyes no longer lead: Familiarity and length effects on Eye-Voice Span
During oral reading, the eyes tend to be ahead of the voice (eye-voice span). It has been hypothesized that the extent to which this happens depends on the automaticity of reading processes, namely on the speed of print-to-sound conversion.

Freezing of gait in Parkinson’s disease: disturbances in automaticity and control
Recent studies emphasize a key role of controlled operations, such as set-shifting and inhibition, in the occurrence of freezing of gait (FOG) in Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Corticospinal Adaptation to Short-Term Horizontal Balance Perturbation Training
Sensorimotor training and strength training can improve balance control. Currently, little is known about how repeated balance perturbation training affects balance performance and its neural mechanisms.

A Mobile Phone App for the Generation and Characterization of Motor Habits
Habits are a powerful route to efficiency; the ability to constantly shift between goal-directed and habitual strategies, as well as integrate them into behavioral output, is key to optimal performance in everyday life.
