Paul Fitts (1964; Fitts & Posner, 1967) has proposed three stages (or phases) of learning: the cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages (see table 1.1).The cognitive stage is characterized by the learnerâs trying to figure out what exactly needs to be done.
So, there we have it, the four stages of learning: the path to becoming an expert. I want to stress that whatever skill youâre trying to develop, whether itâs learn a language, learn an instrument, or maybe become a better writer, youâll have to hone a number of different skills.
