Philosopher Andy Clark gives a wonderful example of the blue-fin tuna's physicality. He says that the tuna has the incredible ab
ility to navigate gracefully through water, to turn quickly, and to start swimming quickly from a standstill. However, the actual muscle abilities of the tuna are too weak by about a factor of seven to actually perform these tasks all by itself; instead the tuna is taking advantage of natural currents of the water. What point does he say this example illustrates?
The correct answer is The embodied coupling between organism and environment
The organism-environment interactions are such that they can be seen as a continuum in which the transition from Psychology to Biology or to the Social Sciences is often a matter of agreeing limits. The experimental analysis of behavior uses contingencies and functional relationships as instruments for the study of organism-environment interactions.
