I'm 3 weeks into learning to type on the Colemak layout and now find myself struggling to type on the QWERTY layout. From my personal experience, I cannot master both layouts simultaneously. | |

| Jun 20, 2015 at 17:20 | comment | added | Artem Kaznatcheev | @AliceD interference and context is definitely a thing, so I am not sure where your assessment is coming from. For example, imagine a person that is bilingual in a pair of languages that have different scrips. I would expect them to have an easier time learning the two different keyboard layouts corresponding to the two languages because of context than a monolingual person learning two different keyboard layouts for the same script. | |

| Jun 20, 2015 at 15:09 | comment | added | Trewesta Anamoly | I can provide the real life background that triggered this question, I am day trader by profession, day trading requires making fast decisions under ambiguous information. I have a trading method to handle certain situations then later I tried to learn another method that handles the same situations differently... under time constraint I find myself paralyzed! Just wanted to understand this phenomenon... as I don't have any cognitive psych. background! Feel free to close the question, if it sounds irrelevant! | |
| Jun 20, 2015 at 15:02 | comment | added | Trewesta Anamoly | Learning a second language is completely different situation, there is no 'interference' there. When there is no interference with previous method it becomes another co-operative guest. Let me give you another personal experience, learning math formulas for differential calculus is easy then try memorizing formulas for integral calculus formulas, it will trip your mind atleast for some initial time, where as learning algebra formulas with trigonometry formulas won't! Typing with two keyboard layouts is similar to math situation but with tight time constraints, no one thinks before typing! | |

| Jun 20, 2015 at 11:02 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is a trivial question. If a scientific basis is added, or if the question is made relevant to this community at large I am happy to retract this vote. | |
| Jun 20, 2015 at 11:00 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | Welcome to Cognitive Sciences and thank you for your question. Sorry for being critical, but why would this be different than learning a second language, learning to drive in a car in a country that drives on the opposite lane and so forth? I vote to close this question because I find it too trivial and poorly researched. | |
