Action-specific perception. Action-specific perception, or perception-action, is a psychological theory that people perceive their environment and events within it in terms of their ability to act. [1][2] This theory hence suggests that a person's capability to carry out a particular task affects how they perceive the different aspects and ...
e. Perception (from Latin perceptio 'gathering, receiving') is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented information or environment. [2] All perception involves signals that go through the nervous system, which in turn result from physical or chemical ...
Common coding theory is a cognitive psychology theory describing how perceptual representations (e.g. of things we can see and hear) and motor representations (e.g. of hand actions) are linked. The theory claims that there is a shared representation (a common code) for both perception and action. More important, seeing an event activates the ...
Sound is analyzed in term of pressure waves sensed by the cochlea in the ear. Data from the eyes and ears is combined to form a 'bound' percept. The problem of how this is produced, known as the binding problem. Perception is analyzed as a cognitive process in which information processing is used to transfer information into the mind where it ...
Active perception is the selecting of behaviors to increase information from the flow of data those behaviors produce in a particular environment. In other words, to understand the world, we move around and explore it—sampling the world through our senses to construct an understanding (perception) of the environment on the basis of that behavior (action).

Vision for perception and vision for action. Vision for perception and vision for action in neuroscience literature refers to two types of visual processing in the brain: visual processing to obtain information about the features of objects such as color, size, shape (vision for perception) versus processing needed to guide movements such as ...
Perception is the organization, identification, and interpretation of sensory information in order to represent and understand the environment.
Motion perception. The dorsal stream (green) and ventral stream (purple) are shown. They originate from a common source in visual cortex. The dorsal stream is responsible for detection of location and motion. Motion perception is the process of inferring the speed and direction of elements in a scene based on visual, vestibular and ...
