We perceive change, and may reflect and evaluate it (Gibson, 1979). Results of the
reflection and evaluation may include: recognition (remembrance) or interpretation of the
change; a decision to postpone further reflection on the change; a decision to ignore the
change; recognition of a lack of knowledge about the change; a reflex response (such as
blinking when an object comes near your eye or an automatic response of “what?” when
interrupted or startled); a decision to jump ahead in the reflexive process, for example the
implementation of a rule, script or action schema that provides prescription guidelines for
human information behavior in stereotypical situations and contexts (such as asking “How are
you?” after saying hello to a person); or relevant information about the change could be provided
from other sources (see Figure 2).
