Perceptual-Motor Skills

Perceptual-motor skills refer to the ability to coordinate your senses with your movements. They involve using visual, auditory, and other sensory information to guide physical actions. For example, catching a ball requires you to see its trajectory and adjust your hand movements accordingly. These skills play a crucial role in everyday tasks, such as driving, playing sports, or even writing, as they blend perception (how you interpret sensory information) with motor skills (how you move your body). Improving these skills can enhance coordination, balance, and overall physical performance.
