Studies in Perception and Action XVII.

Abstract

The International Conference on Perception and Action (ICPA) is the official conference of the International Society for Ecological Psychology (ISEP). As such, it provides a forum for scientific discussion for those scholars interested in the ecological approach to perception and action, as well as other topics in ecological psychology, inspired by the work of James and Eleanor Gibson. After last year’s conference in Guadalajara, Mexico and switching to even-numbered years, this year the conference is held in Trondheim, Norway. In accordance with previous ICPA, Studies in Perception and Action, Volume XVII, is the Poster Book that represents the posters presented at the meeting. This year, we are again making copies of the actual posters available in electronic format as a PDF file. All presenters were asked to submit the final electronic versions of their posters before the meeting, allowing us to publish the full posters prior to the conference, with the aim of encouraging scientific discussion among attendees. We also hope that the electronic version will make the posters widely available. The Poster Book will be permanently archived on the ISEP website (http://commons.trincoll.edu/isep/). Readers of the book will find research on a wide variety of topics including perception in any modality, motor control and coordination, ecological neuroscience, perceptual control of action, affordances, social interaction, development, learning, cognition, language, human factors, design, sensory substitution, rehabilitation, complex systems, and the dynamics of all the above. This work represents an excellent crosssection of the fascinating and diverse research inspired by the ecological approach today.
