In the psychomotor domain, the level 'Guided response' refers to?

• A. Performance of a guided activity
• B. Perception
• C. Mechanism
• D. Origination

Answer: (A)

In the psychomotor domain, learning moves from noticing cues to performing skills with increasing independence. The level called guided response is the stage where the learner starts to perform a skill with guidance—often by imitating a demonstration, following steps, and making adjustments based on feedback or prompts. It involves trial and error under supervision as the learner begins to execute the task with support, rather than doing it completely on their own. This is why the option describing the performance of a guided activity is the best fit: the focus is on actively carrying out the task, but under guidance to refine technique. Perception refers to noticing sensory cues to guide actions, which is an earlier stage. Mechanism reflects a smoother, more confident performance, and origination involves creating new movement patterns—both beyond the guided, supervised stage.
