Overview of the observed skills crucial to perform the individual occupations

Skill areaSkillsSkills description
Sensory perceptionSensory perceptionAbility to respond to signals by movement, to see objects at a close range and at a distance, to see objects in low light, to recognize colours and their hues, to recognize distances, differences in sounds, differences in the direction of sound, to recognize sound in a disruptive environment.
Cognitive capabilitiesRecognizing existing patterns and categories (supervised learning)Ability to recognize a problem, derive a meaning from known categories of stimuli, to identify known patterns (object, sound, image) in a disruptive environment, to compare similarities and differences, to estimate the form of patterns (shapes, objects, …) when a part of them is rearranged.
Generating novel patterns/categoriesAbility to develop new ideas (the number is of importance, not originality, quality, or correctness).
Logical reasoning and problem solvingAbility to apply general rules to specific problems and to formulate answers that make sense, to combine information that gives rise to general rules or conclusions (it includes finding a relationship between seemingly unrelated events), to determine correct mathematical methods or formulas for solving a problem.
Optimization and planningAbility to create or to use different sets of rules for combining or grouping objects in various ways – add, subtract, multiply, or divide in a fast and a correct way.
CreativityAbility to develop unusual and clever ideas about a given topic or situation, or to develop creative ways to solve a problem.
Information retrievalAbility to organize objects or actions in a certain order or pattern based on a particular rule or on a set of rules (e.g., patterns of numbers, letters, words, images, mathematical operations), ability to remember information such as words, numbers, images, and processes.
Coordination with multiple agentsAbility to focus on a certain task for a certain amount of time without distraction, to switch between two or more activities or sources of information (e.g., speech, sounds, touches, or other sources).
Output articulation/presentationAbility to deliver information and thoughts in writing.
Natural language processingNatural language generationAbility to deliver information and thoughts in spoken word.
Natural language understandingAbility to listen and to understand information and thoughts presented in spoken words and sentences, to read and to understand information and thoughts presented in written text.
Social and emotional capabilitiesSocial and emotional sensing, understanding, and expressionAbility to identify and to understand the speech of other person and to speak clearly so others can understand emotional nuances
Physical capabilitiesFine motor skillsAbility to carry out coordinated finger movements of one or both hands to grab, to manipulate or to assemble tiny objects, to set quickly and repeatedly machine or vehicle controls to defined positions, to carry out quick and repetitive finger, hand, and wrist motions.
Gross motor skillsAbility to generate maximal muscle strength to lift, push, pull, or move objects, to bend, stretch, turn, or reach the body, arms, or legs, and to coordinate arm, body, and leg movement.
NavigationAbility to identify own location in the environment; determination of relative position of objects
MobilityAbility to physically move for a long time.
