Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Driving a car to work in normal conditions of traffic is an example of automatic processing, which involves performing a task with minimal attention and effort due to frequent repetition and familiarity with the task. This is different from controlled processing, which requires conscious attention and effort, and mindful processing, which involves deliberate and focused attention on a task. Instinct, while it may play a role in some aspects of driving behavior, is not the primary process involved in driving to work in normal conditions of traffic.
