Derivative experience This nuanced sensorimotor perspective on inverting glasses and sensory substitution exemplifies how experience, at any moment, is a product of both the current stimulation and currently obtaining sensorimotor contingencies, and attunement due to a history of interactions. This basic tenet of the sensorimotor position allows it to meet an often formulated complaint that the sensorimotor approach cannot account for perceptual or perceptual-like experience under circumstances in which occurent sensorimotor interactions differ from those characteristic of the experience. The range of cases invoked by critics includes dreaming, visual imagery and the perceptual experiences of paralyzed people. Invoking these as counter-examples to the sensorimotor approach neglects the explanatory role played by the history of interactions. An appeal to this history of interactions, and the process of attunement it entrains, is essential in the sensorimotor account of all forms of perception. The fact that one feels the whole bottle on the basis of minimal sensory contact, precisely transcends one's currently occurring sensory stimulation because of one's previous exposure to the sensorimotor contingencies of touching and exploring bottles. Because of this history, one is familiar with, or attuned to, a general pattern of sensorimotor contingencies typical of bottles, characterized by such regularities as that one will encounter more hard stuff when one slides one's fingers to either side. Dreaming, visual imagery and experience in paralysis, then, are cases in which the explanatory balance tips more fully in the direction of past sensorimotor contingencies. What one experiences under such circumstances is dictated almost exclusively by one's attunement to previous interactive regularities, rather than by one's current stimulation. In the sense in which the character of experience in such circumstances is due to past, rather than to current interactions, such experience is derivative. The derivative status of experiences in dreaming, imagery or paralysis, far from revealing them as being distant from sensorimotor interactions, in fact shows them to be deeply entrenched in them. 5.

Derivative experience This nuanced sensorimotor perspective on inverting glass and sensational substitution exemplifies how experience, at any moment, is a intersection of both the current foreplay and currently obtaining sensorimotor contingencies, and attunement due to a history of interactions. This basic tenet of the sensorimotor situation allows it to meet an much give voice complaint that the sensorimotor approach cannot account for perceptual or perceptual - like experience under circumstances in which occurent sensorimotor interaction differ from those characteristic of the experience. The range of case invoked by critics includes dreaming, ocular imagery and the perceptual experiences of paralyzed people. Invoking these as counterpunch - examples to the sensorimotor approach neglects the explanatory role played by the history of interactions. An appeal to this history of interactions, and the process of attunement it entrains, is essential in the sensorimotor account of all forms of perception. The fact that one feels the whole bottle on the basis of minimal centripetal contact, precisely transcends one's presently occur sensational stimulation because of one's previous vulnerability to the sensorimotor contingencies of touching and exploring bottles. Because of this history, one is conversant with, or attuned to, a general pattern of sensorimotor contingencies typical of bottles, characterized by such regularities as that one will encounter more hard stuff when one slides one's finger to either side. dream, visual imagery and experience in paralysis, then, are cases in which the explanatory balance tips more amply in the direction of past sensorimotor contingencies. What one experiences under such context is dictated almost exclusively by one's attunement to previous interactional regularities, quite than by one's current stimulation. In the sense in which the fictional character of experience in such circumstances is ascribable to past, rather than to current interactions, such experience is derivative. The derivative status of experiences in dream, imagery or paralysis, far from revealing them as being distant from sensorimotor interactions, in fact shows them to be profoundly entrenched in them. 5.
