    The document describes Fitts & Posner's three stages of motor skill learning: cognitive, associative, and autonomous. [1] In the cognitive stage, movements are slow, inconsistent, and inefficient and require considerable conscious attention and control. [2] In the associative stage, movements become more fluid, reliable, and efficient as links form between performance and results, but some conscious control is still needed. [3] In the autonomous stage, movements are accurate, consistent, and efficient, requiring little conscious attention as they are largely controlled automatically.
