When children practice basic skills over and over again, they can eventually perform them quickly and with little thought or eff
ort. An advantage of such automatization is that the skills:_______.A. Enable children to bypass the sensory register. B. Require less working memory capacity.
C. Make the use of long-term memory un-necessary for simple tasks.
D. Enable children to bypass working memory.
Automating a process or a task in the mind means the ability of an individual to pay much attention to details of the process because the process has been performed repeatedly and involves little effort or thought to perform the process by the individual thereby killing the importance of storing unnecessary information of the process. This leads to reduced memory space required for that particular task. called the Long Term Memory Function.
An advantage of such automatization is that the skills: <u>B. Require less working memory capacity.</u>
