Reviews / Votes
This is one of the most complete texts of sensation and perception on the market. It includes great examples and recent research to help students understand one of the most important pieces of experimental psychology. * Adam Hutcheson, Georgia Gwinnet College* This is the best perception book on the market. It has been honed through multiple editions and is up-to-date and clear without pandering. * Colin Ellard, University of Waterloo * Sensation & Perception does a great job linking neurophysiology to behavior and perceptions. It also offers a good balance between neuroscience and cognitive psychology. * Dave Pittman, Wofford College
* Sensation & Perception is clearly-written, with well-placed examples and graphics to effectively demonstrate the components and the significance of perception. Students will like the succinctness and simplicity of the author's writing style. * T.C. Sim, Sam Houston State University
