Question

Assertion (A): During middle childhood years an individual gets well-developed eye and hand coordination.

Reason (R): The children at this age make decisions on their own.

Options

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A.

Answer 1

A is true but R is false.

Explanation:

Middle childhood (roughly ages 6–11/12) is marked by refinement of fine motor skills and well‑developed eye–hand coordination. Decision‑making autonomy is a social/cognitive shift that is not the cause of improved motor coordination.
