A Model for the Visual Perception of Direction

Optometry and Vision Science, 1988
ABSTRACT An attempt is made to explain how the eyes can be moved with respect to the head and the observer can still assess the direction of an object in space fixed with respect to the head. My explanation is based on the assumption that the subject is made aware of the direction in which the eyes are pointing by the output from the ...

Reid's direct approach to perception

Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 1986
Abstract Reid's criticism of the theory of ideas is regarded as his most important philosophical contribution, while his sensation — perception distinction is considered to be his most important psychological contribution.

Informative Tactile Stimuli in the Perception of Direction

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1966
Three experiments evaluated the efficiency of a special tactile symbol, whose stimuli purportedly specify direction, for use in tactile diagrams for the blind.

Direct Social Perception

2020
Abstract In this chapter I further develop interaction theory and the concept of primary intersubjectivity by providing evidence for our ability to directly perceive intentions and emotions.

Perception of Force Direction

2017
In a previous study, we found that the accuracy of human haptic perception of force direction is not very high. We also found an effect of physical force direction on the error subjects made, resulting in ‘error patterns’. In the current study, we assessed the between- and within-subject variation of these patterns.
