Two visual systems re-viewed.

The model proposed by the authors of two cortical systems providing 'vision for action' and 'vision for perception', respectively, owed much to the inspiration of Larry Weiskrantz. In the present article some essential concepts inherent in the model are summarized, and certain clarifications and refinements are offered. Some illustrations are given of recent experiments by ourselves and others that have prompted us to sharpen these concepts. Our explicit hope in writing our book in 1995 was to provide a theoretical framework that would stimulate research in the field. Conversely, well-designed empirical contributions conceived within the framework of the model are the only way for us to progress along the route towards a fully fleshed-out specification of its workings.

Representing 3D Space in Working Memory: Spatial Images from Vision, Hearing, Touch, and Language (2013, background): “These features are generally consistent with the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), which has long been noted for its involvement in spatial attention and perceptually directed action (see Milner and Goodale 2008 ) .”
Representative learning design and functionality of research and practice in sport. (2011, background): “…that little attention has been paid to the complementary contributions to performance of both ventral and dorsal cortical visual systems, and the functionality of perception and action processes in many studies (Milner & Goodale, 1995, 2008; van der Kamp, Rivas, van Doorn, & Savelsbergh, 2008).”
Global Workspace Dynamics: Cortical “Binding and Propagation” Enables Conscious Contents (2013, background): “While labeled line topographical resonance is a plausible contributor to the stream of specific conscious experiences, the same mechanism in the dorsal stream does not seem support conscious experiences directly (e.g., Milner and Goodale, 2008).”
Visual Fixation Durations and Saccade Amplitudes: Shifting Relationship in a Variety of Conditions (2008, background): “Hence, future research should explore the advantage of the performance associated to either of the both modes (see Milner & Goodale, 2008; Norman, 2002), especially in consideration of the time course as demonstrated here.”
Object Perception-Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology (2020, background): “These pathways diverge into two partly segregated, yet intercon nected streams (Goodale & Milner, 1992; Milner & Goodale, 2008; Mishkin et al., 1983).”
Arithmetic in the Child and Adult Brain (2015, background): “…areas are thought to play an important role in recognition and discrimination of number-letter strings (Allison, Puce, Spencer, & McCarthy, 1999; Milner & Goodale, 2008), deconstructing arithmetic problems likely requires dynamic interactions between dorsal and ventral visual areas,…”
A new neural framework for visuospatial processing (2011, background): “In particular, all of these subregions maintain the continuously aligned representations of visual coordinates relative to the location of body parts that are necessary for visually guided action in peripersonal space 78 .”
Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “…stands for procedural knowledge, and the highest levels are amodal and arbitrary symbols that are explicitly (and consciously) accessible for processing and communication, much like those postulated in the ‘physical symbol system’ (Newell, 1990) and ‘language of thought’ theories (Fodor, 1975).”
Body schema and body image--pros and cons. (2010, neutral): “Milner and Goodale (2008) assume a restrictive link between visual awareness and vision-for-perception at the expense of vision-for-action.”
The Hierarchical Organisation of Cortical and Basal-Ganglia Systems: A Computationally-Informed Review and Integrated Hypothesis (2013, neutral): “The scope of this theory was later extended (Milner and Goodale, 2008) by proposing that the ventral stream communicates visual information to support higher cognitive processing taking place in prefrontal cortical regions (e.g., not only object recognition but also decision making on actions to be…”
TRoPICALS: a computational embodied neuroscience model of compatibility effects. (2010, background): “The scope of this theory was later extended (Goodale & Milner, 1992; Milner & Goodale, 1995; Milner & Goodale, 2008) by proposing that the ventral stream communicates visual information to support higher cognitive processing taking place in downstream cortical areas (e.g., not only object…”
