  • B.Infancy
  • C.Childhood
  • D.Adolescence

Answer: C

Much of motor skill learning takes place during childhood.

Childhood, roughly from age 2 to the start of puberty, is when fundamental movement skills such as running, jumping, throwing, catching and balancing are learnt and refined, and the later childhood years are often called the 'skill-hungry' or golden age of motor learning. Specialised sports skills are built on this foundation.

Infancy is dominated by reflexes and rudimentary movements such as sitting, crawling and first steps. During puberty and adolescence, rapid growth can temporarily disturb coordination, so these are periods of refining rather than acquiring most skills.
