Hi im new here, so please feel free to move this as needed.
About me.
I'm a use of force instructor by trade and I am currently re writing training manuals.
I have a question relating to science vs fiction WRT muscle memory vs the amount of reps required to learn a new skill and it relationship to the central nervous systyem and the subconscious mind.
Much as been written in the police world about how many reps it takes to learn a skill. Id like to get some actual science on this rather than just speculation. The current theroy is between 3000 to 5000 reps before the skill is in the "muscle"
Any thoughts would be welcome, but please im looking for the studies to back the statements.
Thanks
