Abstract
This chapter describes the reaching and grasping that depend on a blend of initial planning and subsequent correction. The initial planning is based on perception of the objects to be grasped and memory of what the objects afford in the way of grasping. Based on such information, one can decide whether to pick up objects with one hand or two, with a large grip or a small grip force. The chapter illustrates that vision dominates touch. Relevant illusions may have practical benefits in physical therapy. Vision for action may use a different neural subsystem than vision for recognition of objects. The eye and hand are tightly coupled in visually guided manual aiming tasks. Studies of eye-hand coordination have shed light on language processing and other functions.
