In summary, considerable controversy and research have been
generated from the automatic/effortful distinction. Hasher and
Zacks (1979) initially stated that all manipulations (e. g. ,
practice, individual differences such as age, orienting
instructions) must produce null effects in order to satisfy the
criteria that a process is "automatic. " However, Zacks et al.
(1984) have more recently noted that automatic processes may range
in degree from relative insensitivity to task and subject variables
(e. g. , frequency processing) to those that are more vulnera- ble
to disruptive effects (e. g. , temporal processing). A review of
the literature reveals that individuals are sensitive to frequency
information even if manipUla- tions alter the slope of the
judgments. Perhaps the application of dual-task metho- dology to
the measurement of capacity demands will be useful in classifying
processes along an attentional continuum. Moreover, there has been
a tendency to dichotomize automatic/effortful processes rather than
to characterize them as ranging from low to high attentional
demands. Recent evidence (Maki & Ostby, 1987) suggests that
attention may be important only in the initial (early) stages of
processing frequency information. Therefore, a major difference
that may emerge between automatic and effortful processing could be
the degree of sus- tained attention required from individuals. In
the following section, we review the findings obtained in the
application of the automatic/effortful framework to the elderly and
neurological/psychiatric populations.
