Attention and Skilled Actions

I need a bit of help or advice...or guidance. I have a tutorial essay to write. 'describe the role of attention in the performance of skilled actions'. now i know we're supposed to write all the normal stuff about attention,model etc...what else?....i'm a bit clueless...(lack of sleep). Thanks :smile:

*bump*

hmm sounds difficult, im not sure, but you could talk about skilled actions, as explained here http://www.stanford.edu/group/SHR/6-2/html/dretske.html

good luck!

thanks

You may describe what kind of attention is used in skilled actions and which models of attention support these. Maybe some criticisms of the models? You may describe theories relating attention and skilled actions and criticise these, support with relevant research. Put a bit of your own views in there, but not too much, you might get marked down for not following the material. lol. Hope that might help a bit. Or maybe I'm just reciting what you've said already.
