There are lots of things we can learn to do almost subconsciously and even pick up after a long time (“like riding a bike”).
Is there anything actually neuromuscular or is this entirely in the brain?
In: Biology
It’s actually more brain than anything.
I work as a CNC Operator, and in this line of work, I have to roll up fiberglass, and assign them the correct designation (2A, 13, 56G, etc.). At first, you’ll be slow, as you’re learning. Then, you start to memorize what everything is, and in time, you could do something without paying complete attention.
Another good example is computer typing. I actually never understood how to fully type without looking at the keyboard, as our class didn’t spend too much time on it. But, the idea is that you could put your fingers on “home row”, the middlemost part of the keyboard, and without much trouble, type out sentences, and even full paragraphs without looking at the keyboard.
Hope this answered your question!
