It seems like the idea of “muscle memory” spans many aspects and activities of life, from small fine motor movements such as playing an instrument, to large movements such as gym exercise or running. The list goes on. What is this phenomenon?
In: Biology
Brains work in funny ways. A “trigger” action can result in a repeated, practice motion. The more you repeat an action after a trigger, the more likely you’ll act on muscle memory.
This can range from almost anything in your daily life, from how you apply toothpaste and brush your teeth, to how you comb your hair, what order you get dressed in, which foot gets the shoe put on first, the pocket you normally keep your phone/wallet/keys.
