What Is Manual Dexterity?
Apply manual dexterity deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that manual dexterity directly affects.
Why Does Manual Dexterity Matter?
Manual Dexterity matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by manual dexterity can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.
What Does It Look Like?
Someone applying manual dexterity may:
- •uses manual dexterity deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
- •checks the part of the result most affected by manual dexterity
- •adjusts the approach when the situation changes what manual dexterity requires
