Richard Held

Richard Held was a renowned psychologist and neuroscientist known for his research on how babies develop sensory and motor skills. He studied how infants learn to perceive their environment and coordinate their movements, especially focusing on vision and touch. His experiments revealed that sensory experiences are crucial for developing proper perception and action. Held’s work helped us understand the brain’s role in integrating sensory information and how early experiences shape our ability to interact with the world. His contributions have significantly advanced knowledge of neural development and perception.
