Psychomotor skills involve coordinated physical activities using the arms, hands, fingers and feet that require practice to gain proficiency. These skills can be divided into gross motor skills which use large muscles like throwing, and fine motor skills which use only the hands or fingers like typing. Psychomotor skills emphasize coordinated physical activity and the ability to process sensory stimuli during actions.

1. Psychomotor skills include hand-eye coordination tasks
such as throwing a ball, driving a car, operating a machine,
playing an instrument or typing. Psychomotor skills emphasize
coordinated physical activity using arms, hands, fingers and
feet.
Psychomotor skills require some level of practice to gain
proficiency and do not include bodily reflexes such as sneezing.
Performance of psychomotor skills is based on one's ability to
process external sensory stimuli in conjunction with the
muscular sensations involved in the action.
Psychomotor skills can be divided into two types: gross
motor skills and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills describe
activities in which large muscles are involved, such as throwing,
while fine motor skills refer to actions using only the hands or
fingers, such as typing.
