According to psychologists, there are differences between automatic processing and controlled processing.

Automatic processing is quick, easy, autonomous, stereotypic, inaccessible to conscious awareness, and relatively error-free. It can occur concurrently with other cognitive processes without interfering with them.

On the other hand, controlled processing is laborious, slow, and prone to errors, but it is also adaptable and useful in dealing with novel situations.
