Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Scientific evidence confirms that the adage 'practice makes perfect' is grounded in neuroplasticity, as repeated training and skill acquisition drive structural and functional reorganization within the brain.

The analysis

The retrieved papers provide direct empirical and theoretical support showing that skill acquisition and repetitive practice drive neuroplastic changes, including synaptic strengthening, network-level reorganization, and altered functional connectivity.

The Impact of Neuroplasticity on Skill Acquisition and Cognitive Growth (2025) explains that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize structurally and functionally in response to stimuli—underpins skill acquisition and cognitive growth.
