Physical realtime activities like walking, driving, dancing or chasing a ball require, what I would call, "fast thinking". There you're in a very tight reception/response loop where a mediocre decision made in a timely fashion is better than an "optimal" decision which takes longer to produce and makes you skip processing a few frames from the surrounding environment.
"Offline" activities are different, there you have enough time to evaluate different decisions and their possible outcomes.
- starbeast 8y agoI have been thinking about the concept of 'flow' and have come to think that it is a large part to do with your conscious mind correlating in a tight loop with your sensory experience, rather than it casting forward or back in time like it usually does. As soon as your conscious mind does skip to planning or memory, flow stops.
