Other Psychomotor Domain Taxonomies

The document summarizes two popular taxonomies for classifying skills in the psychomotor domain, in addition to the one discussed earlier by Simpson. Dave's taxonomy includes five stages: imitation, manipulation, precision, articulation, and naturalization. Harrow's taxonomy includes six stages: reflex movements, fundamental movements, perception, physical abilities, skilled movements, and no discursive communication. Both aim to define levels of motor skill development.

Other Psychomotor Domain Taxonomies

As mentioned earlier, the committee did not produce a compilation for the psychomotor domain model, but others have. The one discussed above is by Simpson (1972). There are two other popular versions: Dave's (1975): Imitation Observing and patterning behavior after someone else. Performance may be of low quality. Example: Copying a work of art. Manipulation Being able to perform certain actions by following instructions and practicing. Example: Creating work on one's own, after taking lessons, or reading about it. Precision Refining, becoming more exact. Few errors are apparent. Example: Working and reworking something, so it will be just right. Articulation Coordinating a series of actions, achieving harmony and internal consistency. Example: Producing a video that involves music, drama, color, sound, etc. Naturalization Having high level performance become natural, without needing to think much about it. Examples: Michael Jordan playing basketball, Nancy Lopez hitting a golf ball, etc.

Harrow's (1972): Reflex movements Reactions that are not learned. Fundamental movements Basic movements such as walking, or grasping. Perception Response to stimuli such as visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or tactile discrimination. Physical abilities Stamina that must be developed for further development such as strength and agility. Skilled movements Advanced learned movements as one would find in sports or acting. No discursive communication Effective body language, such as gestures and facial expressions.
