Chunking
Also called: action chunking, motor chunking
Definition
The brain's process of bundling individually practiced steps into one packaged routine stored in the basal ganglia, freeing working memory (limited to about 7 plus or minus 2 items) for music and partner connection. Practically you drill short 3-5 step sequences until automatic, name each one to cue the whole unit, then focus practice on the handoff points between chunks where errors cluster.
