Overview

This study presents a unified framework for understanding perceptuomotor organization, which stresses the importance of an ecological perspective. Section 1 reviews recent research on a variety of sensory and perceptual processes in birds. Section 2 describes the various research approaches - behavioural, neurophysiological, anatomical and comparative - to understand how the activities of large numbers of muscles are co-ordinated to generate adaptive behaviour. Section 3 is concerned with a range of approaches to analyzing the links between perceptual and motor processes, through neurophysiological analysis and behavioural methods.

Reviews

I cannot imagine a reader who will not find something completely new: some technique of which they have not heard, some recent discovery in a field with which they are relatively unfamiliar...even though each chapter provides its own useful entre into one of a wide range of research fields, it is their bringing together that provides the real inspiration. - IBIS
