"Noticing the jitter" as a fundamental skill
You do some things automatically. And then you wanted to reflect on it and understand how exactly you do these things. And then you drag skills across the spectrum from the left side to the right — consciously slowing down and contemplating.
For example, this is how our course started — we thoroughly and in detail analyzed actions that we all do very often, very naturally, and without much thought (reference). And after reading the first section, you started to think — extracted this skill to the right. That is, from fast thinking we moved to slow thinking.
To do this, you can approach it from different sides:
- Develop sensitivity in the field to see more options for "correct" and "incorrect" language use, object identification, relationships between them, modeling. This is done by learning the rules and applying them frequently, as suggested in all previous sections.
- Take the feeling of "jitter" itself, learn to notice when it is strong, and then notice it even when it is weak and pay attention to it. Then, roughly imagining the rules, you can also often narrow down the search for errors.
