Looking at decision-making from an ecological perspective. From a mental event that follows perception and precedes action to a phenomenon that emerges from the performer-environment interaction.

Continuing the journey in understanding the Ecological approach to cognition by looking at Tony Chemero's book: Radical Embodied Cognitive Science. Conceptualizing cognition in terms of agent-environment dynamics instead of computation and representation. What is RECS, and where did these ideas come from?

Is it true that there is no cognition in the ecological approach to skill? No, of course not. In this episode, I want to start a series of episodes to explain how we can understand cognition (e.g., problem solving, memory, intention, agency, anticipation, decision making, etc) from an ecological viewpoint.
