That's great. I've always thought forgetting was a key part of learning. When you are learning something, you pick up a lot of bad habits. Part of learning is forgetting those bad habits so they don't override the good habits. This is why you want to start slowly and work up to a faster speed, so you can make sure you're practicing good habits. If you try to go fast at the start, you will be going too fast to control what you're doing and will drill bad habits into your muscle memory instead. It can be really hard to get rid of those bad habits after they've cemented.
- nathias 5y agoExactly, I have noticed this same pattern and came to the same conclusions, but not only are you forgetting the 'bad habits' you're also integrating micro habits/skills into more general ones with this same process. In short: adding noise to noise/signal ratio can enhance the type and strength of signal.
- michaelrpeskin 5y agoYes. An old weightlifting coach I had would say this. Every time you practice a lift you do some of the “right” things every time. And some of the “wrong” things too. But there are many more ways to be wrong than right so the right things start to reinforce. And then you take a break and your body starts to forget the movements. But the diffusely learned wrong things dissipate faster so you’re left with more right than wrong. Over many cycles of this you learn the right way to perform the movements.
