A review on perception-action relations in infancy

Abstract

Convergences and divergences in theories that have been a referent in the study of the relations between perception and action, like Piaget’s and Gibson’s, are discussed. From this traditional view, ulterior interpretations are considered, especially the ones related to the neurological basis of visual perceptual and action pathways and approaches that question the functional independence of both processes putting emphasis on the dynamic relation between both of them.
