In the Perceptual-Motor stage, the child explores the environment with the distil modalities and correlates input with past haptic experiences.

• 3. Perceptual Motor: In the perceptual motor stage a “change of gears” has occurred. Instead of exploring the environment by contact, the child can now use the distil modality to examine the world. Visual (or Auditory) input is then interpreted with the associated motor experience. This is how vision derives its full meaning.
