Preferred term

visually guided actions  

Definition

  • Humans interact with objects that have diverse sizes, shapes, material properties, and locations, so the control of action must be intricately intertwined with perceptual systems to ensure movement success. Vision provides precise spatial and temporal information about the objects that are the targets of our actions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Perception; Visually Guided Actions]
