If you want to master a new technique on your sport, the best way is to repeat it as many times as possible until it becomes second nature for you.
Wrong. The best way is to create as many as possible associations of different kind - abstract, visual, verbal. The net of connected associations (or a mental map) is the key, not a while loop.
Write a list, picture your associations. Read aloud and capture it to a webcam. Then listen and watch yourself. That's much more useful than repeated reading.
- atlei 17y agoWell, you're both right, as you are talking about two different types of memory. Associations are best with "normal" memory, but with sports (or piano/instrument playing, or touch-typing etc) we're talking about muscle memory, and there is no way around repetition-repetition-repetition
