Leads to a relatively permanent change in motor performance: changes in a set of internal processes (neural systems, occurs with practice and experience, must be inferred (not readily observable, motor performance. The observable attempt of a person executing a motor skill. Level of performance may be temporary and not be due to practice. Level of performance may change with: motivation, arousal, fatigue, etc. What is a motor skill: definition, goal oriented task, voluntary, requires movement, must be learned.
