Abstract

The aim of this study is to give a new constructivist interpretation to the well-known “dominance principle” of the outstanding Russian physiologist A.A. Ukhtomsky, which in a narrow sense is a conceptual model of the mechanisms of motivated behavioral responses in man and higher animals. Ukhtomsky’s “dominant” is treated as a developing situational material agency, extending to the whole organism. The hypothesis is proposed here of dominants as bootstrapping cyclic processes of inward self-design and outward environmental design (Butz in Constructivist Found. 4:1–14, 2008 [1, 3]). This design is based on emergent anticipation. The process of dominant bootstrapping thus re-establishes equilibrium in the body’s organization and, via sensory-motor coupling, in the body-environment system in accordance with the phenomenology of constructivism.
