Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual-motor coupling refers to the coordination between perceptual information and motor activity, and research has shown that infants as young as a few months old display this ability, such as coordinating their movements with visual information involving people. Thus, option B is the correct choice. The other options (A, C, and D) are all incorrect as they either suggest that perception and motor activity occur separately or that perceptual-motor coupling doesn't develop until later ages.
