“…The ability of the human organism to respond adaptively to optical transformations such as displacement or rotation of the visual field has been known since the end of the last century (e.g., Helmholtz, 1925;Stratton, 1896). Almost two decades of intense research, from about 1955 to 1975, revealed the bewildering complexity of this adaptive response, including postural adjustments, simple motor-response learning, and perceptual changes in vision, proprioception, and audition (for a review, see Welch, 1978).…”

In three experiments, aftereffect measures of visual-shift and proprioceptive-shift components and total shift in eye-hand coordination were obtained for prism exposure. In one condition the hand was visible for most of the sagittal pointing movement (concurrent exposure), whereas in the other condition only the fingertip was visible at the end ofthe movement (terminal exposure). Visual shift was greater than proprioceptive shift with terminal exposure and the reverse was true with concurrent exposure, except that proprioceptive shift tended to be greater in both exposure conditions when head movement was permitted. Total shift was not different from the sum of its components except when targets were present, in which case total shift tended to be greater than the sum. Proprioceptive aftereffects for the unexposed hand were small except when head movement was permitted and appeared to be related to changes in felt head position. Mtereffects for target pointing with the unexposed hand were not found to be related to visual shift. The results are discussed in terms of a view of the eye-hand coordination loop as a serial linkage of component eye-head and hand-head systems, with the locus of adaptation determined by the direction of the coordinative linkage between component systems.

“…This is not only because the stream of sensory inputs is directly affected by movements and adjustments (such as scanning, focusing, orienting, positioning) but often also because perceptual invariants are built upon correlations between sensory and motor dynamics. Evidence of this double dependence is provided by classical experiments on visual adaptation to distortion of the visual field (Stratton, 1896(Stratton, , 1897Kohler, 1964;Taylor, 1962), where perceptual adaptation only takes place after many days of the subject actively engaging in different behaviors. The adaptations thereby achieved are typically non-transferable to other behaviorswhich themselves must be enacted in order to adapt-and they do not take place if the subject is passive or moved externally.…”

The contribution of active body movement to visual development in evolutionary robots

Abstract-Inspired by the pioneering work by Held and Hein (1963) on the development of kitten visuo-motor systems, we explore the role of active body movement in the developmental process of the visual system by using robots. The receptive fields in an evolved mobile robot are developed during active or passive movement with a Hebbian learning rule. In accordance to experimental observations in kittens, we show that the receptive fields and behavior of the robot developed under active condition significantly differ from those developed under passive condition. A possible explanation of this difference is derived by correlating receptive field formation and behavioral performance in the two conditions. *
