AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One reason that babies are such messy eaters is because they are still developing their hand-eye coordination. Babies put objects in their mouths because it is an important way that they learn about the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -The development of hand-eye coordination is one of your baby’s first opportunities to really interact with and manipulate the world around them. Plus, it helps them develop the confidence and independence that they will need to learn and grow.

Detailed explanation-3: -At six months your baby starts to hone her hand-eye coordination. She will move an object toward herself, and will start passing objects from one hand to the other. She will be able to direct a bottle into the mouth or grasp at objects freely.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coordination in child development refers to whether a child can get their body parts to work in a coordinated and functional manner. More broadly, coordination refers to the ability of a child to correctly interpret multiple signals to do more complex physical tasks.
