Jan Mikovsky was asking about the ability to do routine things or well-practiced things without having to expend higher-order brain power. Look up research on "muscle memory." That's the term I've seen used to describe the way non-obvious physical actions are mapped into semantic actions (such as touch-typing). One of the cyberspace navigation techniques invented by Kim Fairchild and myself depends on muscle memory.
