Answer:

Rolling over is an example of proximodistal skill.

Explanation:

  • Proximodistal skills are the ones that develop before any complex skills are developed by the human being.
  • For example, before a small child begins to write by tightening his grip on the pencil, he simply learns to move his fingers with nothing in the hands.
  • The skill of rolling over is developed before the child develops the skill of sitting up on his own.
