J.J. #Gibson on non-visual #perception, #proprioception, and the importance of #movement for #selfperception: “The point (...) is that information about the #self is multiple and that all kinds are picked up concurrently.” #SummerReading

We need vision for movement. Walking: feeling contact of feet w/ ground isn’t everything! “You might think that the contact of(...) the foot with a surface (...) is specified by a mechanical impression of skin, by touch (...). Nevertheless there is optical specification.” #Gibson

Further, the “moving #self and the unmoving world are reciprocal aspects of the same #perception.” - - J.J. #Gibson on the specifying of limb #movement

Personal conclusion of my re-reading of #Gibson’s Ecological Approach to Visual Perception (so far): new insights and I really like these illustrations 😍#SummerReading #Perception
