Spanish term

praxias

Spanish to English Medical Psychology neuropsychological tests
the reference is to a grouping of neuropsychological tests: un factor incluye los test de función ejecutiva y praxias.

I have found the definition of praxias (in Spanish) but not even the word in English. Perhaps "motor skills"? Doesn't sound technical enough.

Discussion

Robert Copeland Jun 1, 2011:
Motor planning (praxis) is the ability to organize, plan, and execute motor skills in a refined and efficient manner. There are several components to praxis, all of which require the ability to process information from the tactile, vestibular, proprioceptive, auditory and visual systems. Components of praxis include imitation, ideation, initiation, construction, feedback, feed-forward, grading, timing, sequencing, and motor planning.

Motor planning or praxis is the ability of the brain to conceive, organize, and carry out a sequence of unfamiliar actions
Virginia Navascues (asker) Jun 1, 2011:
Las praxias son las habilidades motoras adquiridas. En realidad incluyen el saber colocar los dedos de una forma determinada hasta el saber vestirse o dibujar un cubo. Hay una gran variedad de alteraciones de este tipo (apraxias) que indican diversas alteraciones de los hemisferios cerebrales
