Preface
This book is the seventh volume in the "Studies in Perception
and Action" series, and contains a collection of posters and workshops
presented at the Twelfth International Conference on Perception and
Action, held in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia July 13-18, 2003.
The conference, the first to be held "down-under," was graciously and
enthusiastically hosted by Griffith University's Complex Active
Visualisation Laboratory.
The 49 papers included in this volume provide a window onto
the cutting edge work currently being done in ecological psychology
around the world. Together with the other volumes in this series, they
describe the evolution of the discipline and suggest potential
opportunities for future investigations. The poster sessions are always a
highlight of every conference and the poster book continues to be a
valued resource for all of us because it provides a written record of the
science presented during the presentations.
The papers this year reveal the continuing development in
specific areas within the discipline (e.g., haptic perception and dynamic
touch, and visual perception-action coupling). In addition, there is
evidence that the science is expanding in adventurous and ingenious
ways as researchers begin to explore new methodologies and extend the
theory.
We have organized the papers into seven sections: (a) visual
perception, which includes papers on biological motion, stereo and depth
effects, and picture perception; (b) coordination dynamics, (c) haptic
perception and dynamic touch, (d) posture and locomotion, (e)
perceptual and cognitive processes, which includes papers on intentional
dynamics, exploratory learning, the emergence of communication
procedures and others; (f) perception/action coupling, and (g) auditory
perception.
An exciting addition to this year's conference was a workshop
on ecological robotics organized by Bob Shaw and Bill Mace, which
was titled "A New Look at Situational Awareness: The Essential
Ingredients for Modeling Perceiving and Acting by Animate and Robot
Agents". Two papers from this workshop are included as part of this
volume. The first paper, by Shaw and Mace, explores the possibility of
developing a theory of ecological robotics. The second, by Zelinsky,
reports work on the development of "smart cars."
