Controlled processing is a type of cognitive processing that requires conscious attention and effort. It is used for tasks that are not yet automated, and require active thinking and decision-making. In this case, Devondra's actions of tying her shoelaces require controlled processing, as she has not yet developed the automaticity that her older sister possesses. The other choices, automatic processing, circadian processing, and suprachiasmatic processing, do not accurately describe the cognitive processes involved in tying shoelaces.
