The Neuroethology of Perception and Action

  • Chapter
Relationships Between Perception and Action

Abstract

Neuroethology is the study of the physiological mechanisms underlying behavior (Hoyle, 1970). Its conceptual framework is biological in two important senses. First, it emphasizes a broadly comparative approach based on study material drawn from the entire animal kingdom. Second, the neuroethological analysis of behavior and neural mechanisms includes consideration of their evolutionary development and their value to the animal in its natural environment. Thus, the focus is on behavioral units of adaptive significance to the animal — functional units or actions in the language of the psychologist, and on mechanisms for identifying meaningful stimuli — perception in a broad sense.
