The Ecological Approach To Visual Perception Psyc

The Ecological Approach To Visual Perception Psyc

The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception, a foundational work by J.J. Gibson, posits that visual perception is a direct process of picking up information from the environment, rather than a constructive process of interpreting sensory data. This groundbreaking theory emphasizes the concept of affordances – the opportunities for action that the environment offers to an individual – fundamentally reshaping our understanding of how organisms perceive and interact with their surroundings.
