Fitts and Posner (1967) suggested that the learning process is sequential and that we move through specific phases as we learn. There are three stages to learning a new skill:
* Cognitive phase - Identification and development of the component parts of the skill - involves formation of a mental picture of the skill
* Associative phase - Linking the component parts into a smooth action - involves practicing the skill and using feedback to perfect the skill
* Autonomous phase - Developing the learned skill so that it becomes automatic - involves little or no conscious thought or attention whilst performing the skill - not all performers reach this stage
