Abstract:

Our bodies are not static, and multisensory signals are constantly being processed to produce motor behaviours. This chapter will discuss how multisensory interactions shape three kinds of such behaviours: reaching and grasping objects with the hand, walking, and maintaining one’s posture. Motor control is inherently multisensory, as it involves combining anticipatory sensory signals from vision and proprioception, as well as, in some cases, other sensory channels, to prepare movements before they are actually initiated, and then combining online multisensory feedback to control movements whil

Abstract:

Perception is our key to the world. It plays at least three different roles in our lives. It justifies beliefs and provides us with knowledge of our environment. It brings about conscious mental states. It converts informational input, such as light and sound waves, into representations of invariant features in our environment. Corresponding to these three roles, there are at least three fundamental questions that have motivated the study of perception. How does perception justify beliefs and yield knowledge of our environment? How does perception bring about conscious mental states? How does

Abstract:

In this review, I provide an overview of the literature investigating the social psychology of economic inequality, focusing on individuals’ understandings, perceptions, and reactions to inequality. I begin by describing different ways of measuring perceptions of inequality, and conclude that absolute measures—which ask respondents to estimate inequality in more concrete terms—tend to be more useful and accurate than relative measures. I then describe how people understand inequality, highlighting the roles of cognitive heuristics, accessibility of information, self-interest, and context and c

Despite being over a decade on from and the onset of the global financial crisis, organisations are still battling to regain the trust that was lost. A bank whose business practices might be applauded on the basis of its financial performance might be harbouring an unidentified/unmitigated level of conduct risk that could undermine its sustainability and trustworthiness. One way that stakeholders can assess the bank’s culture, conduct and ultimately, its trustworthiness and ‘investment value’ is through the use of metrics.

This chapter charts the trajectory of change of Jomon period clay anthropomorphic figurines in the Japanese archipelago. The earliest specimens embodied the perception of the body and female bodily experiences rather than accurately representing the body itself. Emphasis gradually shifted from the material embodiment of unmediated bodily perception and experiences to the visual representation of the body. Through this process, the subject of the representation expanded from the female body to the bodies of various categories of being, including animals and fantastic/supernatural beings, and th

This article focuses on a particular theory of the emotions, somatic appraisal theory, which explain the range of emotions effectively. The somatic appraisal theory is designed to compensate for the flaw in James's formulation according to which emotions are perceptions of patterned changes in the body. James's theory does not capture the idea that emotions are meaningful. Somatic appraisal theory mentions that emotions are perceptions of changes in the body and also carry information about circumstances that bear on well-being. The bodily changes that occur and the perception thereof have the

Abstract:

An enactive sensorimotor approach to perception places the agent at the center of the engagements that constitute a perceptual act. The notion of agency required, however, cannot be based solely on an organism’s biological well-being. Interests beyond mere survival guide many activities that animals with rich sensorimotor lives engage in. It is proposed that the processes that individuate a sensorimotor agent are the very acts that it performs, and that a network of precarious but mutually stabilizing sensorimotor schemes can satisfy the conditions of agency. Compatibility is demonstrated with

In order to do this four classes of artefact are used as case-studies, namely: wall-paintings, clothing, illuminated manuscripts, and ceramics.

Here, the terms “harassment” and “bullying” are used interchangeably to refer to both these phenomena, namely as the systematic exhibition of aggressive behavior at work directed towards a subordinate, a superior or a co-worker, as well as the perception of bei

Lye’s first film, Tusalava, exhibits a strong concern with notions of the “primitive”, both visually and musically. While Lye abandoned that film’s African and South Pacific influences in his work of the 1930s, his use of jazz is here understood to continue those same concerns. This is considered both in his direct relationship with the Harlem Renaissance and in that movement’s dissemination internationally, as well as with an underlying conceptualisation of primitive perception.

This difference, it argues, is crucial to the proper understanding of human knowledge. Finally, it explains how monitoring the degree of success of your actions u
