The star activity is a neurocognitive experiment that exemplifies procedural memory. We give the "subject" a task that they have never done before (tracing a star by only looking at the mirrored image) and see how many errors they produce. We have them try this multiple times to show how their muscle memory is being used as they improve on this task.
