Person/Jean Piaget/Proprio-Perceptive

• In Jean Piaget’s work, proprio-perceptive refers to perception that arises from the body itself, not from external objects.
  • Proprio- → information coming from muscles, joints, posture, balance, and movement
  • Perceptive → the act of perceiving or organizing sensory information
• So proprio-perceptive perception is the child’s awareness of their own bodily actions and internal sensations—how it feels to move, grasp, suck, turn the head, maintain balance, etc.
