TY - JOUR PY - 1984// TI - Efferent factors in natural event perception can be rationalized and verified: a reply to Turvey and Solomon JO - Journal of experimental psychology: human perception and performance A1 - Shebilske, W. L. A1 - Proffitt, Dennis R. A1 - Fisher, S. K. SP - 455 EP - 460 VL - 10 IS - 3 N2 - Contrary to the view that ambient light information unequivocally specifies phenomenal events, recent research suggests that natural event perception is determined by processes that pick up and combine visual and motor information. This thesis is challenged by Turvey and Solomon (1984). The present article responds to their misgivings by elaborating empirical methods and theoretical arguments of past work. A control experiment is also presented on pointing measurements of distance illusions related to esophoric shifts of eye convergence that are induced by near work. The soundness of both the empirical methodology and the theoretical arguments in support of the original thesis is upheld.
