sensory-motor integration

Sensory-motor integration is the process by which our brain combines sensory information from our surroundings—like sights, sounds, and touch—with our motor functions, or movements. This integration allows us to interpret stimuli and respond appropriately. For example, when you catch a ball, your eyes see the ball coming, your brain processes its speed and direction, and your hands move to catch it. This seamless coordination is crucial for everyday activities, from walking and driving to playing sports, enabling us to interact effectively with the world around us.
