With time and effort, you get better at the specific task you’re practicing, whether it’s shooting at the enemy in a video game or hitting a baseball.

The more you practice a certain activity, the stronger that neural pathway becomes. That’s the structural basis of learning.” Tell the story of the last time you learned a new skill through repetitive actions such as this . How many times did you repeat the skill?
