Understanding How you learn

It is very improtant when learning to drive that you understand the emotional and physical stages that you will go through before you become a competant driver. Many learners feel that they are not making progress or that they are struggling when really what is not understood is that the feelings are natural. Below we explain the 3 stages to learning.

How people learn first phase

When starting out in lessons you will feel awkward and will move in slow movements, This is where the Learners sub consciously is trying to control what is happening. The learner has to think before doing the movement in order to gain the knowledge.

How people learn second phase

This is the middle stage of development. Here you will not feel as awkward and your actions will start to flow, this is where the learner is subconciously linking pieces of information together. The learner will start to remember things that have happened before within a driving lesson.

Movements do not become a permanent part of the brain until they are performed ten thousand times FACT.

How people learn third phase

This stage is reached when learning is almost complete, although an individual can continue to refine the skill through practice.

This last phase is also a very dangerous stage in driving. There is a tendency at times to sleep walk through the movements. By sleepwalk, I mean allow the mind to wander. In spite of the fact the mind and body have become one, a Learner must still concentrate on what they are doing. It is not good to think about the previous evening’s date, while practicing! For you to understanding the various psychomotor stages makes it easier to learn.

The Brain

The brain is very clever and when driving in familiar areas can switch off and hazards of any nature can be missed. Staying alert keeping the brain active is an important part of learning to drive. Having the ability to not only consider your actions but having the abilty to anticipate the actions of others is a difficult skill to master unfortunately many driving instructors do not spend enough time in this area of learning.

Styles of learning

Each learner has their own unique style of learning and our instructors have the ability to define these. Our instructors having assessed the learner will know the best form of teaching to suit. Not all instructors are capable of determining this and that is why at times you may have had lessons previously and felt that you learnt nothing.
