I presented it a little bit like Rob describes above except differentiated the 4 categories of ritual and focused on what type of performance outcomes/lvl of Bloom’s taxonomy each type of ritual supported.

So we talked about the ways teachers control the classroom, highlight important information (1st lvl of ritual guides attention) — everyone knew what it meant for a teacher to shut the lights, write a word on the board etc… we came up with numerous ways we “short-cut” instructional text based on these “shared practices” we take for granted

The audience’s eyes and body language suggested no one had ever thought about their learning processes as “influenced” by these type of engagement — I hope some young researches focus more on this

The order I brush my teeth in. The way I make a cup of coffee. That sort of thing. They’re habits so ingrained that they’ve nearly become ritual; if something interrupts me in the middle of brushing my teeth I almost have to start over, because I do the whole process on such automatic cruise-control that I’m not even consciously aware of where I’m up to, so I have no idea where to re-start.

Which I guess you could harness, in the other direction. Design “rites” to create the habits you want to become subconscious.
