What is the focus of the psychomotor domain?

• A. The recall of facts
• B. The development of attitudes
• C. The accomplishment of physical skills
• D. The analysis of information

Answer: (C)

The focus of the psychomotor domain is the accomplishment of physical skills. This domain looks at learning that happens through movement, practice, and the refinement of motor abilities—think coordination, dexterity, and performing manual tasks with accuracy. It’s about turning knowledge and intent into practiced action, such as mastering a procedure, manipulating instruments, or executing a motor task smoothly.

In contrast, recall of facts is about knowing information (cognitive domain), development of attitudes relates to values and feelings (affective domain), and analysis of information is also a cognitive process. So the emphasis on performing and refining physical tasks makes the psychomotor option the best fit.
