Early Experience & Multisensory Perceptual Narrowing (2014, background): “…attributes are detected by our sensory systems, they are perceived as belonging to perceptually coherent and meaningful objects and events rather than as collections of unrelated sensations (Gibson, 1966; Maier & Schneirla, 1964; Marks, 1978; Ryan, 1940; Stein & Meredith, 1993; Werner, 1973).”
Recovering intrinsic images from a single image (2005, background): “Gibson’s classic 1966 vision book [ 10 ] that describes how both shading and reflectance changes can create structure in the image.”
Consumer Learning and the Effects of Virtual Experience Relative to Indirect and Direct Product Experience (2008, background): “On the other hand, direct experience is an unmediated interaction between a consumer and a brand in full sensory capacity and occurs from product sampling, trial, or purchase (Gibson, 1966).”
Learning Intermediate-Level Representations of Form and Motion from Natural Movies (2012, background): “These findings have led to a number of theoretical formulations of the problem (Gibson, 1983; Olshausen, Anderson, & Van Essen, 1993; Riesenhuber & Poggio, 1999; Ullman, 2000; DiCarlo & Cox, 2007).”
Grounding Procedural and Declarative Knowledge in Sensorimotor Anticipation (2011, background): “According to the sensorimotor view and its variants, for situated action and most (if not all) cognition it is sufficient to ‘enact’ or ‘master skills’, with little internalization (or no internalization at all) of the external world (see e.g. Gibson, 1966; O’Regan and Noë, 2001).”
Canonical affordances in context (2012, background): “(Gibson 1966: 285) Gibson’s concept of affordances continues to give rise to a good deal of controversy and confusion.”
Socially Situated Cognition: Cognition in its Social Context (2004, background): “The defining features or aVordances (Gibson, 1966, 1979) of that environment are resources for, and constraints on, cognition. One implication of this point is that fine-grained interaction or coupling between the agent and the environment often obviates the need for detailed inner representations. ”
Affordances: Four Points of Debate (2003, background): “Second, even though Gibson (1966) invented the word affordances to do a particular job, it has been conscripted by other members of the scientific community to mean something else.”
Dynamic mental representations. (1987, background): “Gibson (1950, 1966, 1979), Johansson (1950, 1973, 1975), and many others (eg, Cutting & Proffitt, 1981; Lasher, 1981) have demonstrated the perceptual systems natural competence with information carried dynamically.”
Misinformation sharing and social media fatigue during COVID-19: An affordance and cognitive load perspective (2020, unknown): “The term affordance was introduced by the psychologist James Gibson (1966), who conceptualised the term to describe the potential actions that an actor can make in a specific situation.”
Multisensory processes in flavour perception and their influence on food choice (2015, background): “In relation to foods, the most plausible hypothesis is that sensory pleasure is the motivation to consume an object that is judged as a suitable food, and that such a decision relies on the integration of sensory information from different sources — effectively a response from the flavour sense [43,”
