Abstract

The whole project of The Ecological Approach to Visual Perception depends upon the distinction James J. Gibson makes between the physical world surrounding animals and the environment surrounding them. Tension can be traced directly to the decision made by James J. Gibson and his wife Eleanor J. Gibson in the 1960s to divide their research efforts: the former would focus on the senses while the latter would focus on perceptual learning. Gibson was right to point out the “troublesome” ambiguity of the term “environment,” and he was prescient in noting that this ambiguity “may cause confusion.” A. Costall argued that the social does not have to be so much incorporated into the ecological approach as demystified. The tools of the ecological approach are well suited to capturing why certain features of road infrastructure are more successful.
