how does practice make u perfect ???

Question

dude · Answer

It’s a saying but it’s trying to tell you to keep repeating what you struggle on so eventually got get the hang of it and you do well

AP · Answer

Practice doesn't necessarily make an individual perfect - it just refines the particular skill(s) you've been exercising over a period of time.

When you rehearse or 'practice' a task or event, you are participating in maintenance rehearsal. This allows information currently stored in your working memory or STM to eventually be stored as LTM. Biologically, what happens is that the neurons that work for the act you are practicing start firing much faster and more accurately. This is known as Long-Term Potentiation, where the synaptic activity of neural networks, persistently increase and strengthen. For example, when you repeatedly practice soccer, the sensory and motor peripheral neurons, the neurons for coordination, kicking, and the neurons for a few neurotransmitters specific to situations in soccer (ie epinephrine, dopamine) start firing more and become more active. When people rehearse more often, their procedural memory for soccer starts getting converted from effortful processing to automatic processing. Once you reach the level of automatic processing, you are considered as 'perfect'. However, this does not mean that your accuracy will increase; the speed of the action or cognitive instructions that you kept on rehearsing would increase. This means that if you learned something wrong, and kept rehearsing it, then it would only make you increase the speed of doing that thing wrong and be accurate in terms of the same procedure.

Also, being decent in one skill could mean being decent in several other. The semantic network model suggests that closer related information are physically stored much closer in the brain.

Actually for the example I gave it's considered as postactivation potentiation. It's the same thing but related to muscular activation.
