Non-representational Sensorimotor Knowledge

چکیده
The sensorimotor approach argues that in order to perceive one needs to first “master” the relevant sensorimotor contingencies, and then exercise the acquired practical know-how to become “attuned” to the actual and potential contingencies a particular situation entails. But the approach provides no further detail about how this mastery is achieved or what precisely it means to become attuned to a situation. We here present an agent-based model to show how sensorimotor attunement can be understood as a dynamic and non-representational process in which a particular sensorimotor coordination is enacted as a response to a given environmental context, without requiring deliberative action selection.

To be a proper non-representational theory of perception, the sensorimotor approach must be a fully non-representational theory of behaviour
The sensorimotor theory of perception claims to be nonrepresentational. However, when dealing with some aspects of perception, such as epistemic properties, the theory retains conceptual aspects that are germane to representational accounts. In order to depart definitively from representationalism, it is suggested that the sensorimotor theory must treat perception as a behavioral process first ...

This paper explores the concept of sensorimotor activity that is central to the enactive model of visual perception developed in Alva Noë’s book, Action in Perception. The appeal to sensorimotor activity is, I shall argue, subject to a dilemma. On one interpretation, such activity presupposes representational states, and therefore is unable to aid us in the project of understanding how an organ...
متن کاملInstrumental Representations of Sensorimotor Control: Representations at Immediate Level
In cognitive science, computation is largely accompanied with representational theory of mind. Yet, it remains unclear whether this companionship also appears in the realm of sensorimotor control. Grush’s (2004) and Pezzulo’s (2008, 2011) account of anticipatory representations provide a limited answer, as they are only suitable for forward models, but not the entire sensorimotor control. Resco...
