Neuromotricity, Psychomotricity and Motor skills. New methodological approaches

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyse the terminology related to human motor skills in order to propose the neologism of neuromotor skills (Neuromotricity) as a concept for the 21st century, which is conceptually different from other similar terms such as motor skills or psychomotor skills. Advances in the study of the brain and its relationship with movement have led to the creation of a special area within the science of human motor skills, with innovative methodological approaches.The BAPNE method (Romero, 2004) is postulated as a possibility to optimise the performance of the brain in the field of human motor skills. We also provide an explanatory pyramid that graphically shows the terminological hierarchy within the field of motor skills, both on a theoretical and practical level.
