M. T. TURVEY: 2003-2008
Physics and Psychology of the Muscle Sense (Dynamic Touch) The sensibility associated with muscles contributes little to the conceptual content of current psychology. In part, it is because losing the muscle sense is neither easily imagined nor easily simulated compared to losing sight, hearing, smell, etc. In part, it is because the perceptual achievements of muscular origin often lack words to describe them and frequently go unnoticed. The research of Turvey and colleagues has disclosed a rich variety of muscle-based perceptual capabilities—relating to held objects, probed objects, and body segments—that seem to be specific to invariant quantifiers of how the mass of an object or limb is distributed. Most recently this enterprise has been extended to biological odometry, how distances are measured by legged locomotion, and place learning, how the environmental layout can be known strictly by mechanical contact. The conceptual and technical issues posed by these varied haptic capabilities provide new test fields for inquiry into the general problems of space perception, action, and selective attention.

Phonological Basis of Visual Word Recognition Turvey and colleagues have been pursuing what Al Liberman referred to as “the seemingly sensible strategy for the reader,” namely, to use the optical shapes to access phonological structures early in the reading process. The reason being that once the reader has done that, he has put the hard part of reading behind him “for everything else will be done automatically by language processes that he commands by virtue of his humanity.” The significance of phonology to the reading process has often been downplayed under the assumption that reading is fundamentally a visual process. The work of Turvey and colleagues prior to 1998 provided important demonstrations, using highly sensitive, fast time-scale masking procedures, that phonology plays a leading not subsidiary role in visual word recognition. A summary of that 25 year long enterprise was published as a 1998 Science Watch article in American Psychologist. In recent years the research has graduated from the question of “What is the time scale of phonological mediation?” to “What is the form of the mediating phonology?” The gathering results are suggesting that the answer may be “gestural phonology.”

Dynamics and Symmetries of Movement Coordination Turvey and colleagues pioneered the dynamics/self-organizing approach to coordination in the late 1970s and early 1980s. That approach now has a strong foothold in the sciences of movement. The research effort in the past 5 years has been aimed at (a) expanding the nonlinear tools for investigating coordination patterns especially in respect to quantifying attractors, their strength, and associated noise, (b) examining the relation between parallel cognitive activity and coordination dynamics, (c) pursuing invariants /symmetries that apply “globally” to the coordination regardless of local neuromuscular/biomechanical conditions, and (d) extending the lessons of interlimb coordination to postural control.

Theory: Ecological Approach and Self-Organization Turvey has continued his efforts at theory development in respect to Gibson’s ecological approach and self-organization as the theory constitutive metaphor for embodied, embedded cognition. The major achievements of the past 5 years include extending the enterprise to standard information-processing phenomena, exploring the logic of impredicative definitions for systems that ‘assemble themselves’, and examining quantum formalism as a tool for explication of the affordance concept.
