perception and action theories

Perception and action theories explore how humans interpret their environment and respond accordingly. Perception involves gathering sensory information—sight, sound, touch—which our brain then processes to understand what’s around us. Action theories focus on how we decide to respond based on that understanding, like moving, speaking, or adjusting our behavior. These theories suggest that perception and action are interconnected: what we perceive influences our actions, and our actions can also change our perception. Together, they explain how we effectively navigate and interact with the world in real-time.
