ecological perception

Ecological perception is the way we actively perceive and interpret the environment around us, focusing on the information directly available through our senses. Instead of passively recording details, we pick up cues about objects, surfaces, and space that help us understand our surroundings and how to move within them. This approach emphasizes that perception is a dynamic process linked to action—our senses guide us in navigating the world effectively. It highlights that perception is context-dependent, meaningful, and tuned to the opportunities and challenges in our environment.
