Following Instructions

Following Instructions’ is essentially two kinds of skill, depending on whether successive or simultaneous processing is required.  Where an ‘expert’ is directing a ‘novice’, successive processing is required: attending to detail, imitating, sequencing the steps, seeking clarification, remembering, and so on. Exam instructions, instructions on procedures, instructions in a new skill are all successive. As a student advances from novice status towards mastery, instructions change to require simultaneous processing, where only the purpose or outcome is articulated and the student understands without being told what appropriate intervening steps are, makes judgements of selection and priority and gets the task done without further instruction.
