    Assignment

    Dear Students,

    Your task is to conduct a mini interview-based study to check the effects of instruction and
    practice on automatic versus effortful tasks and write a report on it.

    Task One: Experiment

    Research Question:

    Do the non-automatic tasks require instructions and practice or not?

    Prove it with the help of a study.

    Sample:

    Take five volunteers from your family/surroundings and brief them the purpose of study in
    simple words.

    Instructions:
     First of all brief your participants about the experiment.
     Ask the participants to enlist 10 tasks which require instructions and practice e.g. playing
    guitar as a beginner.
     After this, ask the participants to enlist 10 tasks which do not require instruction and
    practice e.g. brushing teeth.
     Give ample time to the participants and then collect the sheets from the participants.
     Observe the time taken by participants to enlist automatic and non-automatic tasks.
     After collecting the data from the participants, categorize the given 20 tasks of each
    participant into each of the following categories;
    1. Automatic tasks
    2. Non-automatic tasks.
     Do not repeat the names of tasks that have been given by more than one participant. Just
    mention that task once in your table.

    assignment file in addition to your own table.

    participants and which instructions were given to the participants?

    Table formulation (10)
