We were asked in class to write about something that we do with no apparent reason as to why we do it. Of course I would love to say I am perfect and do none of this but after racking my brain, I found that there is something I used to do all the time. I used to work for a school on the South side of Des Moines before and it was a route I traveled every day Monday through Friday. I found on many occasions that even when driving down E. 14th street as I approached my regular turn I found myself turning on my signal light to make the unnecessary turn. This would happen any time I came in close proximity to my previous workplace even on the weekends.
As soon as I noticed my signal light was on to turn and that cars behind me were slowing down I quickly accommodated my train of thought and continued on to where I was originally set to go. Now that it has been four months since having to make this daily commute, I no longer slow down or my signal light no longer turns on while approaching my old turn. I believe in these actions I am using CLT when I feel that I need to turn at that intersection as I had prior experience with this intersection for many years, and I had yet to change my schema.I used CLT in order to accommodate my mode of thinking after no longer needing to make the turn at the intersection. I still am struggling on how this would fit into the other learning theories and I believe I may be able to stretch it when I say DLT is used as this route is very familiar to me .
This was a good example of how something you do, but don't know why, fits into the learning theories. Your connections for this and CLT were strong, but yes, I'd also have a hard time fitting it into others.
