5 Accuracy and Automaticity (fluency)

Theories & Evidence Theoretic Foundation: Fluency & Automaticity –Assembly & Automation Theory Comprehension enabled by automatic word identification –Information Processing Model Improved automaticity frees up working memory Freeing cognitive resources for more complex action –Phases of Skill Development (Instructional Hierarchy) AccuracyFluencyGeneralizationAdaption

Fluency We use fluency because it represents the automation of procedural skills, which confers –Generalization of skills –Permanence of skills –Freeing of cognitive resources for more complex tasks AND, rate-based assessments are more sensitive to growth over short periods
