The Transition From Cognitive Science to Ecological Psychology

James Gibson: I didn't really realize that I was in this sort of transitioning period going from one stable system to another. John Whiting, at the Free University of Amsterdam, had a massive phase transition of his own Transition and became an ecological psychologist. He actually admitted that he'd got it wrong. The appropriate scale of understanding is this person environment relationship that just becomes stronger and more stable with learning and practice. That's what you can do.
