ABSTRACT
On p. 14 it was explained that spatial behaviour must be seen biologically as a sensorimotor process. But when studying human beings, attention can also be paid to the subjective perception of space.When a man sees a ripe apple hanging in a tree and picks it, a sensorimotor process takes place that begins in the retina and results in movement, but at the same time there is the perception of the apple and the consciousness that one wants to pick it. But what if one doesn’t want to pick the apple? Then seeing the apple in space is all that remains and one tends to forget the possibilityofamotor intention. In thisway, the psychological pointofviewbecomes alienated from the biological, which nevertheless has priority in the existing hierarchy.
