Epistemic affordances in gestalt perception as well as in emotional facial expressions and gestures

Summary Methodological problems often arise when a special case is confused with the general principle. So you will find affordances only for ‚artifacts’ if restrict analysis to ‚artifacts’. The principle, however, an ‚invitation character’, which triggers action. Consequently, action-theoretical approach known as ‚pragmatic turn’ in cognitive science recommended. According this approach, human being not passive-receptive but actively produces those action effects that open up world us (through ‚active inferences’). This ‚ideomotor approach’ focuses on so-called ‚epistemic actions’, guide our perception conscious and unconscious cognitions. Due ‚embodied cognition’ own body assigned indispensable role. theoretical of ‚enactive enables every form can be consistently processualized. Thus, each ‚Gestalt’ understood process result interlocking cognitions ‚forward modelling’ (which anticipations prognoses) ‚inverse makes hypotheses about genesis causality). As shown, these are fed by previous experiences real interaction, later changes into mental trial treatment, highly automated therefore take place unconsciously. It now central object may have such call instrumental or epistemic In simplest case, it facial expressions counterpart question provoke answer/reaction. emotion expression/output according scheme ‚input-processing-output’, acts itself provocative act/input. artifacts neither necessary nor sufficient conditions affordances. Rather, they exist all areas cognition—from Enactive Cognition Social Cognition.
