Description
This market leading text has been thoroughly updated to reflect the latest research in perception. Clinical, developmental and methodological material are interwoven to heighten the student's appreciation for the importance of the field. The authors emphasize perception in a real-world context by relating concepts to students' everyday experiences. The text is known for its thematic presentation of material and its ability to present perception as a unified and coherent field. Thematic icons emphasize the connections among chapters and perception's principle recurring ideas. There is expanded coverage of important new research technologies, including brain imaging and genetics, and the ecological appoach to perception received more comprehensive treatment, including a discussion of perception's contribution to action.
