| Spaceflight: A Cognitive Psychology of Gravitational Orientation |
Story Musgrave, MD |
Story presents a paradigm that looks at the human as a perceiving, orienting and locomoting organism which has been created, evolved and constituted over billions of years by a gravitational vector orthogonal to the planetary surface. He shows how perception and orientation of the gravity vector is essential to the organism's ability to perceive, orient, and operate within a three dimensional environment. Riding a rocket for eight minutes does not eliminate the influences of billions of years of evolution. Within the context of evolutionary biology and a cognitive psychology, i.e., self awareness and reflection on conscious phenomena, Story presents the personal experiences of a gravitational creature in the free fall condition. |
