Ich habe es schon oft bedauert, dass es kein ordentliches englisches Äquivalent für "Motorik" gibt.

Gross motor and fine motor skills.

A positive influence on the motoric development was shown significantly in coordination, balancing and "gross motor skills" more than "fine motor skills"


The Gross Motor area examines the child’s development in large muscle coordination, strength, and stamina. This section involves postural reactions, balance, and ambulation. Skills with play equipment and physical activities such as hopping, skipping, running, and jumping are included.

The Fine Motor domain focuses on skills in eye-hand coordinations that involve reaching, grasping, and manipulating objects. A sequence of fine sensorimotor behaviors using cubes, scissors, clay, puzzles, and toys is included.
