Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a), Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
Assertion A: It is correct that the psychomotor domain of learning focuses on physical skills and the ability to manipulate objects or perform tasks. It indeed helps children (and learners of all ages) to acquire skills that enable them to create or do something on their own.
Reason R: This statement is also correct. The psychomotor domain does not operate in isolation but is interconnected with the cognitive and affective domains. Understanding a concept (cognitive) and having the right attitude or values towards it (affective) are crucial for effectively developing and applying physical skills (psychomotor). For example, learning to play a musical instrument (psychomotor) involves understanding music theory (cognitive) and having the motivation or appreciation for music (affective).
Given that both statements are correct and Reason R indeed provides a rationale that explains how the psychomotor domain is complemented by the cognitive and affective domains, enhancing the overall learning process described in Assertion A
