Sensorimotor Interactions in Space Perception and Action

This volume provides a unique sample of research and conceptual approaches to understanding the interactive nature of perceptual and motor processes. In addition to diverse views from experimental psychology, the reader will find contributions from biological cybernetics, neurology and ophthalmology. Starting with an introduction to the historical development of the problem, the first section is concerned with the contribution of efferent processes to visual space perception. Subsequent sections discuss different theoretical approaches to the interrelationship of space perception and action, phenomena and mechanisms of oculomotor and perceptual adaptation, as well as the development of perceptual-motor performance.
