Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Action-perception coupling « Classical » psychology (cognitivist approach) Perception <=> Cognition <=> Action Psychology 101 Coupling between action and perception Action for perception Action – Perception – Cognition Move head to perceive depth Michel Beaudouin-Lafon Manipulate object to perceive its shape Université Paris-Sud Perception for action mbl@lri.fr Adjust arm and hand motion to grasp an object Ecological theory of perception - J.J. Gibson Visual channel: Sight Co-evolution between the animal Visual field is about 180º and its environment Focus of attention Direct perception Visual acuity: 0.04mm at 50cm « Information pick up » Visual perception Peripheral perception Perception of optical flow Less sensitive to colors, Extract invariants More sensitive to motion Example : Perception of color, motion, depth direction of motion = fixed point in the optical flow (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 1

Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Held & Hein (1963) Kitten Carousel Depth illusion: Ames room The role of experience in perceptual-motor devlopment Self-produced movement and concurrent visual feedback are essential for the development of visually guided behavior The Monkey Business Illusion Change blindness Watch this video: We do not always notice changes in visual stimuli, even when the change is dramatic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQmdoK_ZfY Attention is selective: notifications can go unnoticed (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 2

Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Auditory channel: Hearing Auditory illusion: Sheppard-Risset tones Very large sensitivity range A sound that (seems to) always go down Hearing without listening Audio equivalent to Escher ’ s stairs or fountain « Cocktail-party » effect Masking effects Distance between sources Distance between peak frequences Localizing a source Correlation with visual localisation Haptic channel: TPK Haptic channel: TPK T ouch: 6 types of sensors T ouch Hot, Cold, Pain Pressure, Touch (2 sensitivities) P roprioception Configuration of one’s body in space, used to perceive, e.g., the shape of an object (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 3

Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Haptic channel: TPK Vestibular sense T ouch Sense of balance: relative orientation in space P roprioception Located in the inner ear K inesthesia Tension of one’s muscles, Multimodal perception: visual, kinesthetic, vestibular used to assess the weight or resistance of an object Discrepancies cause Motor system Motor system Control body movements Control body movements Locomotion Kinematic chain: articulated arrangement of the limbs Physical action to combine large amplitude and precise movements Gesturing, hand movements Voice (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 4

Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Motor system Motor system Control body movements Control body movements Kinematic chain Kinematic chain Bi-manual control ( Yves Guiard ) Bi-manual control ( Yves Guiard ) Non dominant hand: sets the context Application to a drawing interface: Toolglasses Dominant hand: acts within that context Toolglasses and Magic Lenses, Bier et al., SIGGRAPH 1993 Motor system Functions of the gestural channel (Claude Cadoz) Controlling a gesture: target pointing Epistemic: acquire information Fitts’ law MT = a + b log(1 + D / W ) MT, movement time Ergotic: D , distance to target W , width of target transform through a , b , empirically determined constants physical action Scale invariant: Semiotic: pointing a target twice as large at a distance twice as long emit information takes the same time (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 5

Master Informatique - Université Paris-Sud Memory and learning Different types of memory Short-term memory Working memory Low capacity (7 ± 2) Short-lived (10-30s) Long-term memory Infinite capacity Unlimited duration Associative access Repetition reinforces memory and learning http://www.human-memory.net/types.html Action theory - Don Norman Plans and Situated Action (Suchman) Goal Humans do not always act according to a pre-made plan Action is situated Intention Evaluation The plan is revised / adapted according to the local situation Evaluation Execution distance distance Spec. actions Interpretation Example: empty printer - add paper - print to another printer Execution Perception - give up printing System (c) 2011-2017, Michel Beaudouin-Lafon mbl@lri.fr 6
