INSTRUCTIONS
PART 1:
Step 1: Read the summary below and review your notes/textbook on the topic. “Read chapter 7 of the required textbook: King, L. A. (2018). Experience Psychology (4th Ed.). New York, NY: McGraw-Hill.”
Different Kinds of Processing
Every day, we are presented with thousands of pieces of information. Every place we go, every person we meet, and everything we do brings us into contact with new data that we must interpret, analyze, and potentially use. These functions are part of what we call processing. There are two ways in which we process information. They are called controlled processing and automatic processing.
Controlled processing requires us to pay attention and deliberately put in effort. Controlled processing is intentionally done while we are consciously aware of what we are doing. In other words, we actually have to think about what is going on and make decisions. We are in ‘control’ of these processes. For example, when we first learned how to ride a bike, we had to pay attention to what we were doing. We had to be consciously aware of where the brakes were, where the pedals are located, how to stop, how to steer the bike, etc. We purposefully paid attention to all of these things, and we put forth the effort to learn how to ride a bike. Some other examples of controlled processing include the first time a person drives a car, writing a letter to a friend, and answering interview questions.
Automatic processing does not require us to pay attention, nor do we have to deliberately put in effort to control automatic processes. Automatic processing occurs without us giving much thought to it. If we practice something long enough, it becomes automatic. For example, as an experienced bike rider, you may be able to do many bike-riding tasks (i.e. shifting the gears of the bike, braking, and steering) automatically without giving it much thought. You can steer, brake, react to cars on the road, and change speeds because all of the years of practice have made it possible for you to do these things automatically without being consciously aware of what you are doing. Some other examples of automatic processing include playing the piano, walking, and singing a song you are familiar with.
Step 2. In 1-2 sentences, describe controlled processing. And in 1-2 other sentences, describe automatic processing.
Step 3: Give 3 examples of times you have used controlled processing of information and 3 examples of times you have used automatic processing of information. You should have a total of 6 examples. Make sure you describe or explain how each of the 6 times you discussed is an example of either of the processing styles. In other words give examples and explain them.
PART 2:
Step 1. Watch the following Ted Talk by Dr. David Vago on the effects of mindfulness on the self.

Step 2. Write a summary of the main findings discussed in the talk. Your summary should be a minimum of 100 words.
Step 3. Now that you’ve learned some of the science underlying mindfulness, what impact do you think mindfulness could have on your meta-cognition? How can mindfulness impact your life? Write a reflection on how the findings could impact you in your own life if you were to practice mindfulness. Your reflections should be a minimum of 100 words. – please use the book as a reference and include in-text citations. King, L. A. (2018). Experience Psychology (4th Ed.).
