    Visually attractive with images and language the seem appropriate to your target age group! Although it did leave me wondering what the other way of thinking is since you mentioned there were two.

    Your use of simple but bold colors is effective! Also, I like the step-by-step approach you’ve adopted to explaining automatic processing. In individual, was this thinking always automatic, or did we have to learn a task so well that it becomes automatic? If it’s the latter, can we increase the speed of automatic processing? This seem so efficient!

    This is a very interesting topic. I liked how you designed your infographic. It was organized and precise. Why do you think once you start to think about an automatic process (like knitting or playing the piano) you start to mess up?
