Abstract

The motor memory is considered as one of the mental processes which are responsible for storing the motor models, keeping and restoring them. The visual imagination may help in remembering the consequence of the motor models in a whole. The motor memory makes it is possible to the body to organize the movements easily and rapidly. The deep feeling with the movement is considered as an important part of the sensitive background for each type of the movement types. If the teachers suffer from some problems in the motor memory, they may face some problems in teaching and learning the skills. Gary Dean defines the motor memory as "the ability to remember a consecutive series of motions and acts" (21:74).
