In search of the ultimate evidence: The fastest visual reaction adapts to environment, not retinal locations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 November 2002
Abstract
The sensorimotor account of perception is akin to Gibsonian direct realism. Both emphasize external properties of the world, challenging views based on the analysis of internal visual processing. To compare the role of distal and retinotopic parameters, distractor effect – an optomotor reaction of midbrain origin – is considered. Even in this case, permanence in the environment, not on the retina, explains the dynamics of habituation.
