Skill (habit): This is an action that becomes automatic after repeated practice. The main characteristics of a skill are the temporal parameters of performance and the ability to carry out the action without constant attention and control. Skills may be motor (for example, driving a car), cognitive (for example, solving mathematical problems), or perceptual (for example, recognizing certain sounds or images).

Skill (work movements): This is the ability to solve work tasks using tools and equipment with a given degree of accuracy and speed. Such a skill includes both cognitive components (understanding the workspace, planning the action, monitoring performance) and motor components (the physical execution of the action). The cognitive and motor components may interact and be adjusted during the performance of the action. Organizing the process of training such skills includes forming cognitive components to ensure reasonable and purposeful actions. This can be achieved, for example, by varying the training conditions.
