Journal ArticleDOI
Abduction: A Theory of Visual Interpretation
TL;DR: This paper demonstrates that a different kind of interpretive logic operates for visual communication processes than for language-based communication processes, and this logic is best articulated in the semiotic literature where the notion of interpretation is more carefully conceptualized.

Metamers in the haptic perception of heaviness and moveableness.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that heaviness perception for a freely wielded nonvisible object can be mapped to a point in a three-dimensional heaviness space, and a promising conjecture is that the haptic perceptual system maps the combination of an object's inertia for translation and inertia for rotation to a perception of the object’s maneuverability.

Gibson's Affordances and Turing's Theory of Computation
TL;DR: The concept of affordance is a central component of the ecological psychology of J. J. Gibson (1966, 1977, 1979/1986) as mentioned in this paper, and it is characterized as the configurations of Turing machines.

The Feldenkrais Method®: A Dynamic Approach to Changing Motor Behavior
TL;DR: It is proposed that DST provides an integrated foundation for research on the Feldenkrais Method and points to parallels with a dynamic systems theory (DST) approach to motor behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exploration in the service of prospective control
TL;DR: A sequential process of exploration that can account for perception-action coupling in infant locomotion is proposed and it is proposed that depth information is privileged because it can be detected from a distance more readily than other surface properties such as rigidity and friction.
