Perception as an active process

Author

  • Norwich, Kenneth H.

Abstract

A somewhat different view of sensory perception is presented. It is supposed that the perceptual process consists of two phases: the establishment of uncertainty about some feature of the environment, and the progressive removal of this uncertainty. The first phase demands active participation by the perceiving system; the second phase is largely a passive one. A preliminary mathematical structure for the passive phase is sketched, and some consequences of the active phase are anticipated.
