According to research on infant reaching, cues from muscles, tendons, and joints guide reaching by 4-month-old infants. Infant reaching initially starts as an uncoordinated movement, but over time infants learn to use these internal cues to guide their reaching movements. Infants do not initially reach by seeing their own hands or by coordinating their thumb and forefinger.
