How Are Motor, Sensory & Perceptual Skills Developed in Infancy?
Infant development begins before birth as fetuses are exposed to a wide range of experiences. After birth, development continues and motor, perceptual and sensory skills are linked as they evolve. (Once a child can stand, he can reach things and explore what was once unavailable.) The most important factor in development is ample opportunity to safely explore his world and plenty of interaction with other human beings.
