Almost two decades ago, the sticky mittens paradigm was demonstrated as a way to train
reaching and grasping behaviors in pre‐reaching infants, and consequently improve visual …

In this chapter, we discuss how perception and action are intimately linked to the processes
of exploration and selection. Exploration, which we define as trying several variations of the …

Self-generated touches to the body or supporting surface are considered important
contributors to the emergence of an early sense of the body and self in infancy. Both are …

It has been a challenging task for a robotic arm to accurately reach and grasp objects, which
has drawn much research attention. This article proposes a robotic hand-eye coordination …

Perception, action, and intrinsic motivation play an essential role in early development,
promoting the creation and refinement of new and more complex forms of behaviors as …

During development, motor skills are fundamental in supporting interactions with the
external world. The ability to plan actions is a particularly important aspect of motor skill …

Most research with the mobile paradigm has the underlying assumption that young infants
can selectively move the limb causing the contingent feedback from the mobile while …

Les premières interactions peuvent être qualifiées de proto-musicales et se manifestent par
la mise en synchronie du rythme et de la prosodie entre l'adulte et le bébé (Trevarthen …

Adapting movements to rapidly changing conditions is fundamental for interacting with our
dynamic environment. This adaptability relies on internal models that predict and evaluate …

The arm postures that infants adopt in the early months of life set up a repertoire of
movement patterns that may aid in the development of reaching. There is evidence of tightly …
