It does indeed take an average of 20 repetitions for most people to learn something new. This is why homework has you repeat a process so many times in different ways, and why people who are trying to learn a new language often have trouble unless they actually speak it with someone. When breaking one habit (like smoking) and substituting a new one (like exercising), you can pretty much consider it a success if you stick with it for three to four weeks.
