Answer:

It is a type of memory that functions automatically without the need of prior thinking

Explanation:

Automatic processing is an efficient-fast cognitive process, which neither requires important cognitive efforts, nor active attention by the subject. Thus, it can also be considered to be a type of muscle memory. Conversely, controlled processing refers to the tasks that are intentionally done, which impose a limitation on the ability to divide the attention between tasks. Some examples of automatic processing tasks include, among others, procedural (regular) tasks, motor skills, implicit biases, etc.
