The Coupling of Perception and Action during Creation Process

Abstract

The coupling of perception and action means that action depends on perception and, at the same time, facilitates perception. This paper deals with the mechanism of creators' coupling of perception and action during creation process. Three topics are picked up: (a) Creators' action should be motivated by the theme of a system with the aim of perceiving beauty, such as a design idea; (b) in order to the theme optimally, creators should keep on self-generating the valuation standard for beauty; (c) self-generating of the valuation standard emerges from a simultaneous solving process of forward-inverse problem, which is analogous to feedback-error-learning process directed by tentative design.
