The human brain likes to make its work easier, especially when processing large amounts of information and numbers. There was a student who wanted to test his mental abilities, he selected the number nine hundred and ninety-nine and multiplied it by himself ten times and found the correct thirty-digit number. How can you follow so many numbers and multiplications without overloading your brain? The answer is that the brain has the ability to automatically perform calculations to make its work easier, in the case of the student it was able to do so because it had practiced for several years in order to perfect this ability. Automatic results are a process the brain develops called automaticity. This ability can be acquired by repeating processes that will achieve the correct result. This is important for students who are behind in their studies, as it will allow them to develop greater learning ability. In order to fully understand the importance of the brain's capacity for automaticity, this article will highlight three areas to clarify. First, the article will discuss how automaticity is related to the brain. Next, the article will highlight different methods of developing automaticity. And finally, this article will show the importance of automaticity in brain learning. The relationship between automaticity and the brain can be observed by performing tasks and examining brain activity before and after automaticity training. Prior to automaticity training, sections of the brain used when performing serial reaction time (SRT) tasks are activation of a broad network of frontal and striatal regions, as well as the parietal lobe ( Poldrack et al.
