Abstract
This study set out to explore the interrelationship among selected measures of motor skills. Ninety-one 4-year-old children from 10 nursery schools were tested using eight motor tasks from the Movement Assessment Battery for Children test. The most striking finding was that there were very low correlations between the motor tasks. In relation to these findings, it is possible to argue that learning of particular motor skills is specific to that task. This is discussed in relation to the principle of task specificity of learning.
