What are psychomotor skills?

Psychomotor skills are skills such as coordination of hands and eyes, balance and reaction time that results from the unity of cognitive and physical functions. All healthy people develop some psychomotor abilities during early development and many people have decided to further develop these skills for work, athletics or other activities. For example, a baseball player must develop coordination and reaction time with hands and reaction time more than a normal person to consistently hit the ball. Psychomotor learning is a process by which individuals create cognitive and physical connections necessary to obtain such abilities. Over time, as one practices such abilities, the cognitive aspect becomes less and less important, as the action itself becomes automatic.

The development of psychomotor ability requires the development of cognitive and physical aspects of this ability. An individual who wants to learn to dance, for example, cannot simply read a book on dance techniques to become a professional TANečnice. He must also spend a considerable amount of time by practicing the conceptual skills he has learned. Only through this unity of conceptual knowledge and physical practice can one actually develop new psychomotor abilities. With practice, these skills tend to be automatic and cease to require a lot of thinking - for example, a dancer will be able to do dances he practiced without taking steps in his mind.

Many different skills and activities require the development of psychomotor abilities. The basic skills acquired during early development, such as walking and jumping, required the development of such abilities. Many skills developed later in life for personal or professional reasons, such as keyboard writing or driving, and also includes the development of psychomotor abilities. Such skills are based on the application of a combination of basic psychomotor abilities such asCoordination of the hands of the eyes, coordination of multiple limbs, orientation and control of movement speed.

The Cognitive, Associative, And Autonomic Stages are the Three Main Parts of the Development of New Psychomotor Abilits. In the cognitive phase, the student intentionally attempts to direct their physical movements based on its conceptualized cognitive ideas, which usually leads to slow and unpleasant movements. The Associative Stage Involves LESS THOUGHT AND IS MARKED BY INCREASE IN AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS. In the autonomous phase, the movements were bound to "muscle memory" and the student no longer thinks about them to carry out them. However, the student can still improve and improve the learned movements of practice, so there is no need to achieve perfection for the first time.
