Action-oriented Perception

Action-oriented perception

Abstract:

Philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists increasingly suggest that perception is action-involving in some sense: they talk of perception as “action-oriented” or “active”, and claim that perception is “for action”.  In this paper, Dr Drayson suggests that the notion of “action-oriented perception” is in fact a conflation of several logically distinct claims about evolution, empirical data, and philosophical proposals.
