Gibson's direct perception
- Gibson suggests we have enough
sensory information to make
perception possible without processing
taking place - 'direct perception'
- states that perception is dynamic not static, with
more information available as we move around
- states that perception is dynamic not static, with
more information available as we move around
- contrasted with Gregory's
constructivist theory
- Gibson discounts Gregory use of visual illusions to support the
idea that we form perceptual hypotheses as illusions are artificial
and occur when people are away from natural environment
- can also be explained purely by what is present in the
stimulus e.g. Muller-Lyer illusion in terms of perceptual
compromise in line length and figure it is a part of
- support for Gibson's ideas in instinctive
behaviour - frog does need to form perceptual
hypotheses about a fly before catching it
- likely that direct perception and Gregory's
constructivist theory are complementary -
describing different aspects of perception
- Gibson makes interesting contribution to explanation of
perceptual processes and adds value with its emphasis
on the richness of the perceptual environment
