Ecological Psychology to Suggest Explanations for Large Vary of Cognitive Phenomena

Robin Hood

This article takes an ecological strategy to the functioning of self-organised cognitive systems. The dynamics of such structures are traced to how they are animated by means of sellers thru interactivity, or sense-saturated agent-environment coordination. These dynamics provide upward thrust to cognitive events, the nature of which is published with certain micro stage qualitative analyses which, in turn, unveil special cognitive trajectories in a hassle landscape. The article gives and exemplifies an approach for doing so, the Cognitive Event Analysis. This approach is based totally on a “probatonic principle” that prompts cognitive scientists to pay shut interest to fine-grained particulars in human behaviour. Based on the methodological method and two case studies, the article discusses how affordances and language feature in a cognitive ecology.
