On Attention,Memory,Consciousness,Routin
« on: November 22, 2008, 08:28:59 AM »
This is an example:

For those of you who know how to sport-climb and belay, you know that there is a 5-step belay method of taking in rope.
Somebody has been routinely belaying the wrong way, with the brake hand leaving the rope everytime she belays (i.e. brake hand pulls in rope, brake hand lets go of the rope, and then brake hand goes back to pull in more rope).

She has been taught over and over about the correct 5-step belay method.
This is my question:

Memory, attention, consciousness, routine.

Memory: Even if she treats it as important and drills it in her head (I must, I must remember to pull in rope the correct way when my climber yells "pull in" or tension"!) how likely is it to get DISTRACTED before that and forget totally and going back to ROUTINE?

Attention: How her ATTENTION cannot be maintained?

Consciousness: How she can not be CONSCIOUS when nagged at to remember?

Last question: The best way to educate her?

Thank you!

Memory: Memory of the correct method is instilled upon repeated trials. It is, for lack of better wording, perfected. After extensive training it does become a routine. That just takes time.

Attention: Instead of focusing on the lose of attention, try to turn that into a trigger. For her attention to now be at full attention. I believe this will help turn Memory into Routine after repeated successes.

Consciousness: Nagging does not work well as a motivator, it may even turn into an inhibitor if used excessively.

Training: That's the teachers call.

"For her attention to now be at full attention"

Forever there will be things of distraction. Even while belaying, the climber may request a variety of other things before that "moment". How?
