Jamie is a baby. First, she learns to crawl, then walk, then run. What type of learning is this?
  1. Declarative memory
  2. Repetition priming
  3. Motor skills learning
  4. Long-term memory
Explanation
Answer: C - Motor skills learning refers to the improvement and strengthening of movements as a result of practice. Jamie did not successfully crawl, walk, or run the first time she tried. She probably fell or got stuck several times before mastering each skill. As she gets older, she will likely master additional motor skills such as riding a bike, roller skating, and driving a car.
