Question

Someone skilled at word processing thinks several letters ahead while typing, whereas a beginner must focus on one letter at a time. A novice is most likely using _________ to complete the task.

Answer 1

Answer:

Conscious serial processing

Explanation:

Conscious serial processing consists in completing one task at a time, in contrast with parallel serial processing, in which several tasks are completed at the same time.

A novice typer will use conscious serial processing because he will have to look at every key before typing, and could even have to think of what finger to type the key with.

An expert typer will use parallel serial processing because he will not have to look at the keyboard before typing, and probably, will not even have to think of what fingers to use. He will instead focus more on writing and reading the text to make sure he is not committing any mistakes.
