306 – Interview with Matt Dicks. Portsmouth, Perception-Action Coupling, Exploring to Learn, Affordances

A discussion with Matt Dicks from the University of Portsmouth. How does “anticipation” behavior change as we vary the degree of perception-action coupling? What is the role of perceived afffordances and action capabilities in the control of action? How do we explore our environment to learn (i.e. acting to perceive) and learn to explore? Should exploring be treated as something different than performing?
