Summary:	Extensive neurophysiological and neuropsychological evidence show that perception, action, and cognition are closely related in the brain and develop in parallel to one another. Thus, perception, cognition, and social functioning are all anchored in the actions of the child. Actions reflect the motives, the problems to be solved, and the constraints and possibilities of the child?s body and sensory-motor system. The developing brain accumulates experiences which it translates into knowledge used in planning future actions. Such knowledge is available because events are governed by rules and re.
