Chapter 9. From perception to sensory experiences
-
Danièle Dubois
Abstract
This chapter enters into dialogue with its counterpart, Chapter 1, pointing to advances from the classical cognitivist position to a situated approach to cognition. We develop upon the consequences of this shift towards sensory experiences presented in Chapters 2 to 8. This chapter can also be read on its own in that it summarizes what we have learned from case studies in previous chapters, and then reconsiders important concepts to account for the specificities of sensory experiences as a psychological reality. We further provide empirical guidelines for empirical explorations, further detailed in Chapter 10.
