Explanation
From simple to complex the psychomotor levels run Perception, Set, Guided response, Mechanism and Complex overt response.
Perception, using senses to guide motor activity, is the simplest starting level.
Set is the readiness or mental, physical and emotional preparation to act.
Guided response is early practice by imitation and trial under guidance.
Mechanism is the habitual, confident performance of a learned act, followed by complex overt response, the skilled and automatic performance.
This is Simpson's 1972 taxonomy of the psychomotor domain, whose higher levels are adaptation and origination.
