Abstract: | An attempt is made to defend a general approach to the spatial content of perception, an approach according to which perception
is imbued with spatial content in virtue of certain kinds of connections between perceiving organism’s sensory input and its
behavioral output. The most important aspect of the defense involves clearly distinguishing two kinds of perceptuo-behavioral
skills—the formation of dispositions, and a capacity for emulation. The former, the formation of dispositions, is argued to
by the central pivot of spatial content. I provide a neural information processing interpretation of what these dispositions
amount to, and describe how dispositions, so understood, are an obvious implementation of Gareth Evans’ proposal on the topic.
Furthermore, I describe what sorts of contribution are made by emulation mechanisms, and I also describe exactly how the emulation
framework differs from similar but distinct notions with which it is often unhelpfully confused, such as sensorimotor contingencies
and forward models. |
