  Anita Harlow (1972)did something parallel to what Bloom and Krahowl did for learning objectives in the psychomotor domain. Below is her list of movements in the psychomotor domain: Non-discursive Communication Skilled Movements Physical Activities Perceptual Basic Fundamental Movement Reflex Movements
• 3.
  • Reflex Movements learningin response to some stimuli Ex: flexion, extension, stretch, postural, adjustments • Basic Fundamental Movement inherent movement patterns which are formed by combining of reflex Ex: Coordinated movements such as jumping rope, punting, or catching

  • Perceptual Abilities refersto interpretation of various stimuli that enable one to make adjustments to the environment. Visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or tactile discrimination. Suggests cognitive as well as psychomotor behavior. Ex: Coordinated movements such as jumping rope, punting, or catching. • Physical Activities require endurance, strength, vigor, and agility which produces a sound, effeciently functioning body Ex: all activities w/c require a) strenuous effort for long periods of time; b) muscular extertion; c) a quick, wide range of motion at the hip joints; and d)quick, precise movements

  • Skilled Movements theresult of the acquisition of a degree of efficiency when performing a task. Ex: all skilled activities obvious in sports, recreation, and dance. • Non-discursive Communication is communication through bodily movements ranging from posture to gestures, creative movements facial expressions, act a part in a play through sophisticated choreographics. (Harlow, 1972) Ex: body postures, gestures, and facial expressions efficiently executed in skilled dance movement and choreographics.

  Moore (1998) alsogave three levels of learning in the psychomotor domain. They are as follows: Precision Manipulation Imitation
