How do we as humans know how much power to use when launching an object?

258 views

What I mean is, for example, basketball, how do we know how much power to use to make it into the basket or like when you toss a piece of trash into a bin, how do we know how much power and the angle needed to just launch it and make it in the basket. I feel like we all have tossed a piece of trash in the bin, and just instinctively know how how much power to use.

We have Procedural Memory (often referred to as Muscle Memory). These are Neural Networks in your brain that are trained on previous experience (not theorical knowledge or formulas). The Brain reprocesses your short term memory to program your Procedural Memory while you are sleep (and your muscles are suppressed), running dream information through to rewire and test these new connections.
