Gibson's direct theory of perception

• Gibson proposed an alternate theory: 



  perception is innate rather than learnt.
• GIBSON'S DIRECT THEORY OF PERCEPTION is a theory that emphasises the importance of direct perception, which refers to the idea that the human visual system can directly perceive and interpret the sensory information from the environment without requiring any mental inference or processing.
• GIBSON'S DIRECT THEORY OF PERCEPTION-

  According to Gibson, the real world provides sufficient information for our perception, and this information is available for direct pick-up by the sensory systems.
• GIBSON'S DIRECT THEORY OF PERCEPTION-

  Gibson believed that the environment is structured in such a way that it presents affordances, which are opportunities for action that are directly perceivable in the environment. Affordances are perceived in a direct and non-inferential manner, and the information needed to perceive them is available in the environment itself.
• GIBSON'S DIRECT THEORY OF PERCEPTION-

  In Gibson's view, motion parallax is an important cue that plays a role in direct perception.

  Motion Parallax provides information about the relative distance and motion of objects in the environment, and this information is available for direct pick-up by the visual system. Gibson argued that the information in the environment is invariant, meaning that the information remains the same regardless of the observer's position or orientation.
• GIBSON'S DIRECT THEORY OF PERCEPTION-

  As a result, motion parallax provides direct and reliable information about the layout of the environment, without requiring any mental interference or processing.

  A good example of motion parallax is when we are moving fast say on a train and the objects closer to us appear to move faster than those father away. the things in the distance are much slower in comparison.
