“…Calibration is required to yield metrically accurate responses. (4) Calibration is required a) because perception drifts without calibration as shown, for instance, by Bingham and Pagano (1998) and Vindras and Viviani (1998) and b) because embodied units of perceptual information must be mapped to embodied units of action.

Bingham and Pagano (1998) argued that metric space perception should be investigated using relevant action measures because calibration is an intrinsic component of perception/action that yields accurate targeted actions. They described calibration as a mapping from embodied units of perception to embodied units of action. This mapping theory yields a number of predictions. We tested two of them. The first prediction is that calibration should be action specific because what is calibrated is a mapping from perceptual units to a unit of action. Thus, calibration does not generalize to other actions.This prediction is consistent with the 'action specificity approach' to calibration (Proffitt, 2008). The second prediction is that a change in perceptual units should generalize to all relevant actions that are guided using that perceptual information. The same perceptual units can be mapped to different actions.Change in the unit affects all relevant actions. This prediction is consistent with the 'general purpose perception approach' (Loomis & Philbeck, 2008). In Experiment 1, two targeted actions, throwing and extended reaching were tested to determine if they were comparable in precision and in response to distorted calibration. They were. Comparing these actions, the first prediction was tested in Experiment 2 and confirmed. The second prediction was tested in Experiment 3 and confirmed. The 'action specificity' and 'general purpose perception' approaches each fail to predict the alternative results predicted by the other. Both sets of results were predicted by the 'mapping among embodied units' theory of calibration.

Three fundamental questions are addressed: (1) What are the effective sources of optical information for perceiving spatial relationships and events? Complex natural environments provide a plethora of information potentially related to spatial layout. Psychophysical research investigates the efficacy and perceptual processing of these potential cues to depth and events. (2) How is this information combined by the perceptual system? Viewed in isolation, individual cues typically do not fully specify the environmental properties to which they relate. In general, the rules for projecting three‐dimensional layout onto the retina are unambiguously defined, whereas the inverse operation—from the image to the three‐dimensional projected scene—is not. (3) Do people perceive space and events accurately? Certainly, people act in the environment as if they represent its spatial relationships accurately; however, effective action can often be achieved without geometrically correct representations. From a pragmatic perspective, perceptual representations are accurate to the degree that they provide effective guidance for behavior. This issue is developed and discussed throughout the chapter.
