Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in the Psychomotor Domain

Elizabeth Simpson's taxonomy for the psychomotor domain outlines six levels of skill development: Perception, Set, Guided Response, Mechanism, Complex Overt Response, Adaptation, and Origination. Each level is characterized by specific abilities and illustrative verbs that describe the actions associated with each stage. This taxonomy builds on Bloom's work to categorize the progression of motor skills from basic sensory awareness to advanced creative movement.
