which of the following as a fundamental motor skill? a. leaping and skipping b. muscle memory c. specialized movements d. manipulating small objects

The fundamental motor skills are the basic movements that involve different body parts such as feet, legs, trunk, head, arms and hands. These skills are the foundation for more complex and specialized skills that kids will need to participate in any sports or activities.

a. Leaping and skipping: These are considered as fundamental motor skills as they involve basic movements of the body.

b. Muscle memory: This is not a motor skill, but rather a type of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition.

c. Specialized movements: These are not fundamental motor skills. They are more complex and are usually developed after mastering the fundamental motor skills.

d. Manipulating small objects: This could be considered a fundamental motor skill as it involves fine motor skills which are the coordination of small muscle movements usually involving the synchronization of hands and fingers with the eyes.

So, the answer is both a. leaping and skipping and d. manipulating small objects.
