Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Perceptual-motor coupling refers to the way in which perception and motor activity are integrated or coordinated in infants. Research has shown that infants continually coordinate their movements with perceptual information, particularly when it comes to people. This integration is evidenced by how infants visually track moving objects before reaching for them or how they adjust their grip on objects based on their size and shape. Therefore, option B is the correct statement about perceptual-motor coupling in infants. The other statements are incorrect.
