Not only does sensory motor integration allow us to respond appropriately to incoming sensations, it also guides the way that we act in the environment. For example, motor planning is an important ability that depends on efficient sensory integration. Motor planning involves having an idea about what to do , planning an action, and finally executing the action. New actions are planned using knowledge of past experiences and the sensations that accompany them. The tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular senses are particularly important in providing knowledge about how the body moves and how it can be used to act on the environment. When motor planning occurs, a person is able to deal with a completely new task by organizing a new action. Motor planning involves conscious attention to the task while relying on stored information regarding unconscious body sensations.
