We continue to learn motor skills throughout our lives. Development of reaching, development of walking: reaching. A prominent development within the first year of life. Relies on a number of different components. We have to have a variety of perceptual skills. Object perception (recognizing objects, depth perception) (see perceptual development) We have to have the strength to lift arms and accurately move our arms to reach. We have to coordinate movement of our arms and close our fists. We have to be able to time our motor skills, integrating visual and motor skills: reaching when the object is moving. We have to be able to anticipate where a moving object is going to be before we can reach and grab. A more complicated task that requires sophisticated visual-motor skills.
