Typing Muscle Memory

"Hi, this is Linda Lewis on behalf of Expert Village.com. Check out my website at www.keytime.com. What is muscle memory? When you are working on the keyboard, your fingers when you are initially learning where a key is and how your fingers travel, you are actually thinking about moving the keys. When you are doing touch typing, you are doing it without looking at your hands and so your fingers are going to be doing the repetitions so that it develops a memory of how your finger moves. Basically with keyboarding all you are doing is developing muscle memory. Another example of developing muscle memory is thinking about what you see people doing when they are practicing golf that they are going to be learning how to actually hold the club and practicing mentally. You’ve seen many people that go around practicing their golfing by actually without having the golf club in their hand and what they are doing is really practicing their sport. That is the same thing that you can do when you are practicing on the keyboard with the typing, you can practice that and again your mental practice is the same thing to reinforce that so that your muscles remember how to go to the keys. That is what muscle memory is."
