Which of the following learning disability impacts the ability of hand-eye coordination, balance and manual dexterity?  Correct Answer Dyspraxia

Learning Disorder: Difficulties in acquiring knowledge and skills to the normal level expected of those of the same age especially because of mental and cognitive disorders are known as learning disorders or learning difficulties. The term Learning disorder was first given by Samuel Kirk in 1963.

Key PointsDyspraxia (learning difficulties in motor skills):  Dyspraxia refers to problems with movement and coordination whether it is with fine motor skills (cutting, writing)or gross motor skills (running, jumping).

A motor difficulty is referred to as an 'output' activity meaning that it relates to the output of information from the brain. In order to jump, write or cut something, the brain must communicate with the necessary limbs to complete signs that a child might have motor coordination include problems with physical abilities that require hand-eye coordination, like holding a pencil or button.

Thus, Dyspraxia learning disability impacts the ability of hand-eye coordination, balance, and manual dexterity.

Important Points

Some of the learning disorders are given below:

Dyslexia (Learning difficulties in reading): There are two types of learning difficulties in reading.

(i) Basic reading problems: These problems occur when there is difficulty understanding the relationship between sounds, letters, and words. For example- But-put, now-wow, etc 

(ii) Reading comprehension problems: These problems occur when there is an inability to grasp the meaning of words, phrases, and paragraphs

Dyscalculia (learning difficulties in math): A specific learning difficulty that affects a child's ability to understand numbers and learn math facts.

Dysgraphia (learning difficulties in writing): Learning difficulties in writing can involve the physical act of writing or the mental activity of comprehending and synthesizing information.

Aphasia/dysphasia (learning difficulties in language): Language and communication learning difficulty involves the ability to understand or produce spoken language.

Straight As may be the wrong goal, suggests a new study that has determined learning is optimized when we fail 15% of the time. P. This is a concept that society has intuited for a long time, across a variety of domains — for instance, this just-outside-one’s-grasp learning is observable in video games, in which the player is encouraged or forced to a higher level of difficulty once a performance criterion has been achieved.  Q. In both cases, machines and animals learned the fastest when difficulty was such that the subject would be right 85% of the time and be wrong 15%. But researchers say their finding is likely applicable to humans.  R. Interestingly, it’s not a new concept — the “zone of proximal development,” a theory developed in the 1930s by psychologist Lev Vygotsky described the sweet spot of learning: when a student is faced with a challenge just beyond their ability to solve it alone. It’s a ‘Goldilock’s zone'. S. A ratio, developed by researchers at various universities was tested on computers via machine learning and applied to previous research looking into how animals learn.  6. If one is taking classes that are too easy and acing them all the time, then one probably isn’t getting as much out of a class as someone who’s struggling but managing to keep up.
