This book is the outcome of a Nato Workshop, held in France in July
1989. The workshop was organized to examine current ideas about
sensory-motor organizations during human infancy and their
development through early childhood. The study of sensory-motor
development is experiencing a profound shift in scope, focus,
methodology and theoretical foundations. Many of these changes are
quite new and not yet well covered in the literature. We thought it
would be useful for some of the leading researchers in this field
to convene together and to compare notes, and collectively to
establish future directions for the field. The reasons for a new
conceptualization of sensory-motor development are no doubt
numerous, but three are especially significant: 1. One concerns a
shift from studying either sensory or motor processing to
investigation of the relations between the two. 2. The second is
connected to the new emphasis on action, and its implications for
goal-directed and intentional behaviour extending over time. 3.
Lastly, new theories and methodologies provide access to new tools
for studying and conceptualizing the developmental process. 1.-One
of the most enduring legacies of the behaviorist perspective has
been a focus on the stimulus and the response to the exclusion of
the relation between them (Pick, 1989). Historically, this bias
translated into a research agenda in which the investigator was
concerned with either perceptual or motor competence, but rarely
the relation between them.
