The day I learned to ride a bicycle.
After almost falling over numerous times, I finally advanced 10m. The sense of accomplishment I felt could not be put into words.
Afterwards, I had this thought that worried me.
What if I forget how to ride a bike when I wake up tomorrow?
But the next day, and the day after that, I didn’t have any trouble riding my bike around. That was because my body remembered what to do.
A kind scholar defined it in this way…
Procedural Memory.
But the thing is….
No matter where I searched on the Internet, there was no explanation about the phenomenon I am currently experiencing.
I can do tricks I haven’t learned on a skateboard, play the piano expertly without having touched one before, and even swing a tennis racket naturally when I had never even trained…
What do you call it when you can make use of the procedural memory of others as if it was yours?
