And, of course, also applied it to my knowledge/teaching of knitting and instrumental music and dance etc. etc. etc. - the whole concept of the stages in which muscle memory is acquired and how it comes to mesh with intellectual understanding to form knowledge and coordination. Fascinating stuff, and you're right, overall children do seem to come to it more honestly and with a lot less baggage. (Heh.

IOW, you mostly figured out how to ring on your "home" bells, but the whole situation of the bells in the SECOND location was sufficiently different to mess you up. You'll be fine once you get a little more experience over there.<BR/><BR/>That's how dogs learn. They don't generalize well. You have to train them in lots of different situations and contexts.<BR/><BR/>Not that I'm saying you're a dog... I just seem dogs more than I see people most days. :)Janice in GAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05642298460152468319noreply@blogger.com
