Visualization

I noticed one of my co-workers was having trouble typing. He looks at the keyboard when he types and his overall speed is low. I told him about how when I was in high school and wanted to improve my typing speed I used what I learned recently is called 'visualization'. This is where you picture yourself doing a task in your mind and it turns out the motor neurons actually used in that task light up in brain studies. Gymnasts use it now apparently (1)
