how many reps - reference for stats

Question
Do you know the scientist (kinesiologist) who made this statement that you quoted:
Kinesiology scientists believe it takes:
"About 100 repetitions for a neuron pathway to be created
About 3000 to 5000 repetitions for mastery (to become automatic)."?

looking for a book, article, author or other source info.  You seem well enough informed to have that info.

Huge thanks!

Answer
Hi Tom,

I'm afraid I can't give you the exact reference. This statistics was cited in a number of different articles I have read. One paper cites a higher value. Take a look here:

Hope this helps.
