Eupraxia

/juːˈpræksə/ noun

Definition

Good, appropriate, or proper action; correct and skilled functioning, especially of the body or mind.

Etymology

From Greek eu- (good, well) + praxis (action, practice). Contrasts with apraxia (inability to perform skilled movements).

Kelly Says

Eupraxia is what we lose in certain brain injuries—apraxia is when you can't tie your shoes even though you remember how, showing that the brain has separate systems for 'knowing' and 'doing.'
