There’s a revolution happening in science that is changing the way we understand and teach movement, and I’ve been working on a documentary about it. But using this new approach, and reading about it wasn’t enough- so I flew all the way to norway for THE international conference on Perception and Action to meet and talk with the foremost researchers of the field in person.
While there, I met Julia Blau and Jeff Wagman, two of the top minds in their field and authors of the amazing book: Introduction to ecological psychology.
In their book, they unpack the revolutionary insights of ecological psychology both in contrast with the traditional approach and through the eyes of Fred, a cute stick figure who’s story we follow as he does all sorts of activities. Unlke most scientists, Jeff and Julia have put an enormous amount of work into making science understandable, approachable, and engaging for the general public, and they’ve done an incredible job at it.In this interview, we’ll start to unpack some of the revolutionary ideas of ecological psychology, a growing field that is changing the way we think about perception, movement, and life in general all the way down from the foundational level of neurons, sense organs, and metal beads, up to sports, robotics, global conflict and the nature of thinking itself.
Enjoy!
