Processing speed is "the ability to automatically and fluently perform relatively easy or over-learned elementary cognitive tasks, especially when high mental efficiency (eg, attention and focused concentration) is required".
In a previous study, we recorded the activity of neurons in the hippocampus and in the entorhinal cortex while well-trained rats performed the same W-track alternation task fluently; we found that neurons in these areas exhibit trial-specific coding for prospective destinations on outbound trials and retrospective origins on inbound trials [17].
In a sign that computers will be able to perform image analysis as fluently as text analysis, a group of Stanford-based researchers were able to make accurate predictions about neighborhood voting patterns based on millions of pictures collected from Google Street View, reports The New York Times.

It was also on a visit to France to perform that he learned to speak the language fluently and began to make contacts with influential artistic and intellectual figures such as Pierre Boulez and Michel Foucault.
