Muscle Memory 1

What is 'muscle memory' and how does your muscle know if it is memorizing the right thing?

"Muscle memory" is, put simply, the motor plan that I presented in my earlier discussion. There is really no way your body knows whether it is memorizing the "right" thing, it just remember what you do. One thing your body can do is recognize whether it is doing the "right" thing, meaning the motor plan. Your body makes this determination based on various feedback loops of sensory information. In the case of shooting, you can see when your shots are not hitting your aiming point. This is an example of one piece of feedback your body integrates to determine whether or not it is doing the right thing.
