Which of the following is a Psychomotor Learning domain step?

• A. Imitation
• B. Knowledge
• C. Comprehension
• D. Evaluation

Answer: (A)

Psychomotor learning centers on performing physical skills, so the first step is imitation—the learner watches a demonstration and tries to replicate the movement. This is essential because mastering a motor task starts with seeing how it’s done and attempting the action. The other options belong to the cognitive domain, dealing with mental processes: knowledge is recalling facts, comprehension is understanding meaning, and evaluation involves judging or critiquing rather than performing a skill. In hands-on OSHA training, you’d begin with imitation, then move to guided practice and feedback to build accurate, coordinated performance—e.g., properly donning PPE or operating a tool—before progressing to higher levels of proficiency.
