Assignment:
Psychomotor Domain Performance Gap Analysis
1050 to 1400-word paper that examines the role of Bloom's performance model in identifying performance gaps for an activity in the psychomotor domain (e.g., juggling, playing a musical instrument, learning to play a sport, etc.). Identify each level in the psychomotor domain and provide examples of a gap in performance for each level.
Conduct a search for Bloom's psychomotor domain to access the psychomotor categories as developed by Simpson (1972). Please use this reference as a starting point for the assignment.
The psychomotor domain refers to the use of basic motor skills, coordination, and physical movement. Bloom's research group did not develop in-depth categories of this domain, claiming lack of experience in teaching these skills. However, Simpson (1972) developed seven psychomotor categories to support Bloom's domain.

Origination a learner's ability to create new movement patterns
Adaptation a learner's ability to modify motor skills to fit a new situation
Complex Overt Response the intermediate stage of learning a complex skill
Mechanism the ability to perform a complex motor skill
Guided Response the early stage of learning a complex skill which includes imitation
Set a learner's readiness to act
Perception the ability to use sensory cues to guide physical activity
