Abstract
Michael Turvey was a great scientist, encyclopedist, fine lecturer, and, together with his wife and colleague Claudia Carello a wonderful friend of many. Mike Turvey was able to educate the next generation of students and influence the thinking of many outstanding researchers by focusing on a multidisciplinary approach to ecological psychology in which organisms directly perceive sensory stimuli and evaluate them depending on actions they can accomplish in the environment (Gibson 1968). This, “affordance principle” is applied to all biological kingdoms from a single cell amoeba to multi-celled organisms. Some other essential ideas in behavioral neuroscience advanced by Turvey are considered.
