Abstract

This essay is a tribute to Michael T. Turvey, my PhD mentor at the Center for the Ecological Studies of Perception and Action (CESPA), University of Connecticut, and a distinguished figure in the field of motor behavior research. My narrative aims to showcase the exceptional qualities of Turvey as a teacher and mentor and share the insights I gained from him in the specific context of his emblematic action course. I hope these insights will enlighten and inspire others as they have me, thereby perpetuating his legacy.
