Zusammenfassung
The nature of learning is primarily thought of as a verbal process or function, but this suggests that pre-linguistic infants do not learn - when they are actually active learners. This text provides a theoretical framework for the "ecological approach" to understanding perceptual learning.

An Ecological Approach to Perceptual Learning and Development by Gibson
Gibson and Pick argue that infants are active learners who perceptually engage their environments and extract information from them. This ecological approach to development - defined as a 'theory about perceiving by active creatures who look and listen and move around' - was spearheaded by the Gibson and Gibson in the 1950s. This book, written by one of the most eminent experimental psychologists of the 20th Century, is the summary and capstone of a long and fruitful experimental tradition.
This is a beautifully written book, and a most welcome addition to the field of perceptual development, indeed to the whole discipline of child developmentFor years I have taught a graduate course in perceptual development and never had a text that I felt I could assign in its entirety. Now I do, because this book brings a lucid introduction that is crystal clear in its explication of the complex ideas encompassed by this field. The scholarship is deep, accurate, and thorough. * Rachel K. Clifton, University of Massachusetts, Amherst *
