Ecological Perspective on Perception-Action: What Kind of Science Does It Entail?
This chapter examines the ecological aspect of perception-action and its scientific basis. Investigations reveal that the main component of the behaviors of living organisms at all levels is the idea that perceiving provides a dependable medium for acclimatizing and adapting activity according to the environment. Environmental causes and their relationship to sensory effects need to be explored for implementing effortless influence. Perception has been defined as a type of reasoning or argument that plays a key role in determining and performing an action within a given environment. Scientific investigations also reveal that perception cannot be proof of awareness of ecological reality despite being a key component of any constructive action performed by a living organism.
