Recent work in Eindhoven has taken a significant step away from its basis in ecological psychology. Earlier work built on J.J. Gibson’s ecological psychology and aimed at formulating conditional laws and constructing mathematical models of actual interaction. ²⁸ Since Kees Overbeeke’s inauguration in 2007, however, research has turned to phenomenological and pragmatic philosophy. ²⁹ Ecological psychology worked marvelously well when creating systems that can be used with one’s body instead of cognition, but it gave few tools to see how things like social interaction and culture shape conduct. It remained limited in its ability to conceptualize reflection, thinking, and discourse, and these are just the things in the center of the most recent work coming out of the program.
