Definition

  • Although sensory information is used to perceive the world, ultimately perceptions must result in actions to have an effect. Traditionally, more research and popular interest have been devoted to sensory perception than sensorimotor actions, but that has been changing with growing awareness of the sophistication of such actions and the underlying neural mechanisms.
