Personal Statement |
|
I’m interested in perception-action relations, and more particularly how information guides activity. My research paradigms have included several kinds of interceptive actions (catching fly balls, punching falling balls, lateral reaches to swinging balls), and dynamic touch. I am also interested in how information-perception and information-action relations change with experience, and worked with David Jacobs on a theory we call direct learning. Over the years I have also done experiments on and/or written papers on affordances, the state of ecological psychology, and the dynamical systems approach to action. |
