Can you tell what people are doing by watching what they are doing? The answer, from this demonstration, seems to be 'No'. What people see in our behaviour is not necessarily the goal we are following. Dr Warren Mansell explains this key aspect of Perceptual Control Theory - that 'behaviour is the control of perception' using rubber bands in a class with his second year undergraduate students at the University of Manchester.
