adaptive control of thought model.[1]

Adaptive control of thought

The adaptive control of thought model assumes a distinction between declarative knowledge, knowledge that is conscious and consists of facts,[2] and procedural knowledge, knowledge of how an activity is done.[3][4] In this model, skill acquisition is seen as a progression from declarative to procedural knowledge.[4] Adaptive control of thought is a general model of cognition, and second-language acquisition is just one application of a wide area of research in cognitive psychology.[5] Second-language acquisition is seen as a progression through three stages, declarative, procedural, and autonomous.[5]
