Perception<=>Cognition<=>Action

Perception is the organization, identification, and

interpretation of sensory information in order to represent
and understand the presented information, or the
environment.
Cognition is "the mental action or process of acquiring
knowledge and understanding through thought, experience,
and the senses".
Action is the fact or process of doing something, typically to
achieve an aim.

Perception-Action Coupling

Coupling between action and perception

● Action for perception
○ Move head to perceive depth
○ Manipulate object to perceive its shape
● Perception for action
○ Adjust arm and hand motion to grasp an object
 Visual Channel
1. Visual field is about 180º

1. Focus of attention
Visual acuity: 0.04mm at 50cm

1. Peripheral perception
Less sensitive to colors, More sensitive to motion

1. Perception of color, motion, depth

 The Monkey Business Illusion

We do not always notice

changes in visual stimuli, even
when the change is dramatic

Attention is selective:
human can filter content that
they are looking for
 Auditory Channel: Hearing
1. Very large sensitivity range
2. Pitch and Loudness
3. Hearing without listening
« Cocktail-party » effect
1. Masking effects
Distance between sources
Distance between peak frequences
1. Localizing a source
Correlation with visual localisation
 Haptic Channel: TPK
Touch: 6 types of receptors
Heat, Cold, Pain, Pressure, Vibration, Texture
 Haptic Channel: TPK
Touch
Proprioception
Configuration of one’s body in space,
used to perceive, e.g., the shape of an object

 Motor System
Control body movements
Locomotion
Physical action
Gesturing, hand movements

 Motor System
Control body movements
Kinematic chain:
articulated arrangement of the limbs
to combine large amplitude and precise
movements
 Motor System

Bi-manual control (Yves Guiard)
Non dominant hand: sets the context
Dominant hand: acts within that context
 Fitts Law
The time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size
of the target.

MT= a + b log(1 + D/W)

MT, movement time
D, distance to target
W, width of target
a, b, empirically determined constants

 The Two Gulfs
Gulf of Execution
The gulf of execution is the degree to which the
interaction possibilities of an artifact, a
computer system or likewise correspond to the
intentions of the person and what that person
perceives is possible to do with the
artifact/application/etc.
Gulf of Evaluation
The gulf of evaluation is the degree to which the
system/artifact provide representations that
can be directly perceived and interpreted in
terms of the expectations and intentions of the
user
