What is "sensorimotor"

Usage examples of "sensorimotor".

I do not doubt that basic sensorimotor cognition and the early mental categorization process has many of the features outlined by the enactive paradigm.

But its monological apprehensions need to be supplemented with dialogical recognitions, and this begins to take us away from the too-heavily sensorimotor anchoring in which Varela and his colleagues seem a bit mired.

This has the effect, in the authors' presentation, of confusing sensorimotor as organic structure (Upper Right) with sensorimotor as immediate lived experience (lower portions of Upper Left), and this keeps their enactive paradigm heavily grounded in a biologistic bias.

Deleuze (following Bergson) and Morse Peckham (following the American pragmatists) both suggest that subjectivity is located in the gap between stimulus and response: it is the indeterminacy, the space of randomization, the temporal delay in the sensorimotor apparatus by virtue of which the latter is no longer a linear function and predictable consequence of the former.

All of which is true enough, and all of which is foundational (or the sensorimotor starting point), but all of which totally overlooks the further nonreducible developments in the intersubjective sphere, which cannot be recovered in an enactive monological paradigm, but must include an enactive dialogical paradigm as well.

Or prelinguistic (the sensorimotor worldspace, or eye of flesh), paralinguistic (the noosphere, or eye of mind), and translinguistic (the theosphere, or eye of contemplation).

When mind reflects on nature, much of the nature is preexisting or pre-mental (the sensorimotor components).
