Turvey has finally arrived at the ecological approach, but all the preceding chapters have made it such that there are preliminaries to deal with first. This first Lecture sets up a very broad, all-encompassing motivation for an ecological approach, summarised in the first sentence: "A theory of perception ought to be a theory for all organisms.". Turvey will spend some time identifying that previous work has focused on humans, we are one of a countless number of organisms and not especially representative, and that the why of perception-action should be rooted in the laws of thermodynamics.
