Abstract
"Of the three of several possible meanings that could be ascribed to an empiristic approach to perception, the one which involves an initially random perceptual process in relation to a given stimulus was selected for intensive analysis. In order to enable the analysis to move forward, an initial fortuitous relationship was assumed between a perceptual process and the ensuing motor response. In general, the plan of the argument was to demonstrate that the assumptions of initial perceptual and motor random processes were incompatible with the^ict of learned adaptive behaviors. The main effect of the argument, if valid, is to restrict further discussion of the thesis that "perceiving is learned" to the other meanings presented, or to some other meaning compatible with these two." 24 references.
