Automaticity is the ability to complete tasks without occupying the conscious mind. These tasks become an automatic, unconscious response pattern or habit. This episode reveals the benefits of automaticity for learning and the steps required to achieve this goal.

Steps of automaticity:

1. Make a conscious choice to acquire a habit.
2. Focus all your attention on this task and manage all distractions.
3. Repeatedly learn small sets of information.
4. Making your training progressively more difficult. “Slow (careful) is - Smooth is fast.”
5. Decrease the time it takes to complete the task.
6. Practicing doing this task while doing something else.
7. Finally, as Pablo Picasso once said, “Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.”

This episode continues our discussion on the mind’s eye and goes into ways we can exercise and improve one’s visualization capacity.  We discuss the 10 visualization skills as defined by Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher.  We will also teach you a game you can play with others to improve this needed skill.

Visualization is the ability to create mental images within one’s mind. These imaginary pictures or mind movies enable us to see experiences from the past, conjure up ideas in the present, or even project visuals into the future. In our first podcast, we reviewed how visualization can improve memory, make books and other academic classes come alive, and improve our attention, and speed of learning.
