what really is “muscle memory”?

544 views

Our muscles don’t have little brains that remember how to move. It has to be a subconscious process, right?

And why is is that sometimes when we slow down to think about a highly practiced action, it becomes more difficult to do?

Passwords that I usually type on a keyboard can be hard to remember if I don’t have a keyboard available. My memory seems to rely partly on the practised movement of fingers on the keyboard. Recall is hard if I slow down to think instead. I would struggle if I had a keyboard with the keys in different places. I think this happens because I almost always recall passwords when typing, and what I recall is really the movement.
