A majority of the time is spent on perfecting the combination of these two aspects. Although they have resulted in automatic processing individually, controlled processing is required to put these two aspects together to create motion and music. Learning to march and move while playing the memorized music. It is now that the hard part comes into play.
Once this is mastered, it also results in automatic processing. This includes changes in tempo and whether one needs to play loud or soft. Not only do the notes need to be memorized, but also every change that occurs. Controlled processing is highly involved in this aspect simply because the music needs to be memorized. Once marching is practiced many times and finally mastered, it results in automatic processing, or processing that occurs automatically using few cognitive resources (Goldstein, 2011). This is why it requires a lot of controlled processing. It may not seem like it, but marching is not as easy as it looks. It involves rolling one’s feet in a heel-toe manner at the same exact time as the tempo, or beat.
Automatic processing how to#
For example, learning how to march requires more than just moving one’s feet. In the beginning, everything that is taught requires close attention, or controlled processing (Goldstein, 2011). At first it may seem daunting, but once a person practices, everything becomes easier. There are many aspects to this activity that require a lot of practice and attention. Starting a new season is always rough in the beginning, especially as a new member. However, I did not realize that all the hard work in the beginning would pay off in the end.
When I first began, I was uncertain that I would be able to keep up because of all the long hours and hard work that was expected. Participating in this activity requires a lot of cognitive resources along with a great deal of dedication and hard work. In high school, I was in marching band and this particular section summed up my experience with this activity perfectly. I found this section to be very relatable for many reasons. As I was reading the textbook, I came across controlled and automatic processing.
