Mind games: Game engines as an architecture for intuitive physics
We explore the hypothesis that many intuitive physical inferences are based on a mental
physics engine that is analogous in many ways to the machine physics engines used in …

Intuitive physics: Current research and controversies
Early research in the field of intuitive physics provided extensive evidence that humans
succumb to common misconceptions and biases when predicting, judging, and explaining …

The ecological dynamics of decision making in sport
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this position paper is to consider the decision-making process as
an integral part of goal-directed behaviour influenced by functional constraints at the scale of …

Two visual systems and two theories of perception: An attempt to reconcile the constructivist and ecological approaches
J Norman - Behavioral and brain sciences, 2002 - cambridge.org
The two contrasting theoretical approaches to visual perception, the constructivist and the
ecological, are briefly presented and illustrated through their analyses of space and size …

An interactive layers model of self-regulated learning and cognitive load
Abstract Models of self-regulated learning emphasize the active and intentional role of
learners and, thereby, focus mainly on conscious processes in working memory and long …

Direct learning
DM Jacobs, CF Michaels - Ecological psychology, 2007 - Taylor & Francis
The theory of direct perception holds that perception is specific to properties of ambient
energy arrays. This article explores a similar approach to perceptual and perceptual-motor …

Representing causation.
P Wolff - Journal of experimental psychology: General, 2007 - psycnet.apa.org
The dynamics model, which is based on L. Talmy's (1988) theory of force dynamics,
characterizes causation as a pattern of forces and a position vector. In contrast to …

Comparing objective and subjective learning curves: judgments of learning exhibit increased underconfidence with practice.
A Koriat, L Sheffer, H Ma'ayan - Journal of Experimental …, 2002 - psycnet.apa.org
When participants studied a list of paired associates for several study-test cycles, their
judgments of learning (JOLs) exhibited relatively good calibration on the 1st cycle, with a …

Reconciling intuitive physics and Newtonian mechanics for colliding objects.
People have strong intuitions about the influence objects exert upon one another when they
collide. Because people's judgments appear to deviate from Newtonian mechanics …
