CCR is pleased to publish its synthetic and concise report on Psychomotor Skills, which clarifies the confusions over terminology and structure and includes its recommendations for sophisticated psychomotor human learning in an age of robots – from medicine to music, from trades to sports:

• perception and proprioception are critical feedback mechanisms for psychomotor development,
• psychomotor skills cannot be accurately categorized as fine or gross but rather should  be defined based on measurable attributes such as precision, accuracy, speed, and consistency, as well as physical abilities such as strength, flexibility, balance, and stamina
• singular psychomotor skills have a linear progression from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence, that is independent of their combination with additional skills or transfer to new situations, which can also have their own developmental progressions.
• Two essential psychomotor skills that transcend fields emerged- coordination and adaptation (aka transfer)​. These are referred to as “meta-motor” abilities because they can be applied to any psychomotor skill, transcending typical subject- and/or occupation-bound categorizations.

CCR is grateful to Area9 Learning for their support of this paper.
