Watching an expert perform the skill once without later imagining or practising the sequence
Reading car magazines during practical drives

Answer: B — Having the student mentally rehearse complex motion sequences (e.g. manual gear shifting, scanning routines, junction approach) in vivid detail, which activates neural motor pathways and accelerates real-world skill acquisition
