Motor Skills Acquisition Theory

Motor Skills Acquisition Theory describes how individuals learn and refine physical movements through practice and experience. It explains that acquiring motor skills involves stages, starting from initial understanding of the movement, progressing through refinement with repetition, and eventually achieving smooth, automatic performance. Factors such as feedback, motivation, and environmental influences play roles in this process. The theory helps educators and therapists design effective training strategies by recognizing that skill development is gradual and depends on systematic practice and adjustment, ultimately enabling individuals to perform tasks more efficiently and confidently.
