Abstract

In Gibson’s ecological theory it is recognized that perception is direct. This article reviews some of the main postulates of the theory that permit to comprehend that perception is an unmediated process. For Gibson, the study of perception implies: that individual and environment maintain a relation of reciprocity, that patterns of stimulation carry information given that in virtue of physical laws specify their source in the environment, that perception is not separated from action since stimuli for perception are intrinsic and dependent on organism’s activity, and that there may be higher-order invariants in transformations of patterns of stimulation which are related to higher-order properties of environment. It is proposed that the notion of detection of invariance in stimuli combinations might be extended to the study of phenomena in operant conditioning.
