已经有人指出，感觉运动启动主义（Sensorimotor Enactivism）是一种声称知觉是由运动产生的理论，但它对实现知觉的神经机制几乎没有说什么。对于感觉运动启动主义预测方法的支持者来说，这是一个挑战，可以通过将预测处理引入图片来应对。然而，这些理论之间的兼容性并不简单。首先，因为他们对表征的立场似乎不同：感觉运动启动主义被认为属于认知科学的非表征派，而预测加工则具有表征派的特征。其次，因为它们表现出不同的解释策略：感觉运动启动主义优先考虑具身代理的交互，而预测加工具有内在承诺。本文的目的是解决这些问题，并表明，预测方法的感觉运动启动是可行的。更具体地说，我专注于自由能方法，这是一种属于预测处理范围内的理论福尔斯。在本文中，我支持以下主张。我认为，（a）感觉运动启动主义和自由能量的方法可以理解为一些系统中的代表性条款。感觉运动发动主义的非表征性阅读不是强制性的，自由能量方法的表征性阅读也不是强制性的。(b)在这方面，感觉动作主义与FEA的代表性和非代表性解释都是兼容的。因此，对这些框架的表征的立场不应该阻碍对感觉运动启动主义的预测方法。我还表明，（c）自由能源的方法允许一个帐户，优先考虑的互动体现代理与环境。这就是感觉运动启动主义所遵循的解释策略。为了证明这一战略，并遵循其他支持者的感觉运动的能动性，我认为，通过提到的体现代理的相互作用，提供了更好的说明问题的现象。在此基础上，我主张（d）感觉运动启动主义和自由能量方法在涉及它们的解释策略方面也是兼容的。因此，提出的预测方法的可行性，感觉运动启动的情况下。
It has been pointed out that Sensorimotor Enactivism, a theory that claims that perception is enacted and brought about by movement, says very little about the neural mechanisms that enable perception. For the proponents of the predictive approach to Sensorimotor Enactivism, this is a challenge that can be met by introducing predictive processing into the picture. However, the compatibility between these theories is not straightforward. Firstly, because they seem to differ in their stand towards representations: while Sensorimotor Enactivism is said to belong to the non-representational wing of cognitive science, predictive processing has a representational profile. And secondly, because they exhibit different explanatory strategies: while Sensorimotor Enactivism prioritizes the interactions of the embodied agent, predictive processing has internalist commitments. The aim of this paper is to address these concerns and show that a predictive approach to Sensorimotor Enactivism is viable. More specifically, I focus on the Free-Energy approach, a theory that falls within the ballpark of predictive processing. In this paper I argue for the following claims. I argue that (a) both Sensorimotor Enactivism and the Free-Energy approach may be understood for some systems in representational terms. The non-representational reading of Sensorimotor Enactivism is not mandatory and neither is the representational reading of the Free-Energy approach. (b) Sensorimotor Enactivism is, in this respect, compatible with both representational and non-representational interpretations of the FEA. So, the position towards representations of these frameworks should not stand in the way of a predictive approach to Sensorimotor Enactivism. I also show that (c) the Free-Energy approach allows for an account that prioritizes the interaction of the embodied agent with the environment. This is the explanatory strategy followed by Sensorimotor Enactivism. To justify this strategy and following other proponents of Sensorimotor Enactivism, I argue that by referring to the interactions of the embodied agent a better account of the phenomena in question is provided. On this basis, I claim that (d) Sensorimotor Enactivism and the Free-Energy approach are compatible in what concerns their explanatory strategy as well. Thus, making the case for the viability of the predictive approach to Sensorimotor Enactivism.
