Motor Skill Questions

What are motor skills & what is meant by motor skill learning?
A motor skill is essentially, a type of move or process that is done with physical movement, in motor skill learning, this is done by muscle memory or constant training/repetition of the chosen skill or process.
How do we classify motor skills?
Sometimes we classify given motor skills into the sports, games, or activities where these skills are prevalent, for example, in soccer there is a focus on footwork, and in volleyball, there is an emphasis on hand eye coordination. Other aspects also include the precision of the skill, things that affect how its done, and wether the activity has a definite beginning or end.

What is meant by in a close or open situation when learning a skill?
The difference is that a closed situation is a training exercise that is very controlled, like a coach that is feeding balls to a soccer player who is continually shooting at a goal whereas an open situation is more like an actual game.
