Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that vision is the primary sensory input used by eight-month-old infants to guide their decisions on how to grip objects. Infants will adjust their grasp in response to changes in the visual properties of the object, such as its size or shape. While touch and sensorimotor coordination also play a role in object grasping, they are not as crucial as vision at this age. Auditory cues are not typically used for object grasping in infants.
