  • Human Perception

    by Marco Bertamini, Michael Kubovy ...
    It takes little or no effort for us to gather information by means of our senses but it would be a mistake to take this as a sign that perception is simple. It was in the 20th century and after the establishment of psychology as a scientific discipline that the study of perception flourished. This important volume gathers together a selection of articles and essays which represent some of the most ... Read more

  • Perceptual Organization

    Edited by Michael Kubovy, James R. Pomerantz ...
    Series series Psychology Library Editions: Perception
    Originally published in 1981, perceptual organization had been synonymous with Gestalt psychology, and Gestalt psychology had fallen into disrepute. In the heyday of Behaviorism, the few cognitive psychologists of the time pursued Gestalt phenomena. But in 1981, Cognitive Psychology was married to Information Processing. (Some would say that it was a marriage of convenience.) After the wedding, ... Read more

    Sensation, Cognition, and Constancy

    Edited by Gary Hatfield, Sarah Allred ...
    'Seeing' happens effortlessly and yet is endlessly complex. One of the most fascinating aspects of visual perception is its stability and constancy. As we shift our gaze or move about the world, the light projected onto the retinas is constantly changing. Yet the surrounding objects appear stable in their properties. Psychologists have long been interested in constancies, exploring questions such ... Read more

  • Cognitive Psychology and Information Processing

    An Introduction

    by R. Lachman, J. L. Lachman, E. C. Butterfield ...
    First published in 1979. Basic research, at its essence, is exploration of the unknown. When it is successful, isolated pieces of reality are deciphered and described. Most of the history of an empirical discipline consists of probes into this darkness-some bold, others careful and systematic. Most of these efforts are initially incorrect. At best, they are distant approximations to a reality that ... Read more

  • The Geometries of Visual Space

    by Mark Wagner ...
    When most people think of space, they think of physical space. However, visual space concerns space as consciously experienced, and it is studied through subjective measures, such as asking people to use numbers to estimate perceived distances, areas, angles, or volumes. This book explores the mismatch between perception and physical reality, and describes the many factors that influence the ... Read more

    Basic Issues

    Edited by Hans-Georg Geissler, Stephen W. Link, James T. Townsend ...
    Series series Scientific Psychology Series
    The plan for this volume emerged during the international Leipzig conference commemorating the centenary of the death of Gustav Fechner. The contributors suggested that while many features of modern psychological theory were anticipated by Fechner, many new theoretical approaches owe much more to him than often is realized. As such, they decided to honor Fechner by evaluating his own contribution ... Read more

  • Consciousness in Philosophy and Cognitive Neuroscience

    Edited by Antti Revonsuo, Matti Kamppinen ...
    Consciousness seems to be an enigmatic phenomenon: it is difficult to imagine how our perceptions of the world and our inner thoughts, sensations and feelings could be related to the immensely complicated biological organ we call the brain. This volume presents the thoughts of some of the leading philosophers and cognitive scientists who have recently participated in the discussion of the status ... Read more

This interdisciplinary handbook presents the work of leading researchers around the world who have taken up the challenge of defining and formalizing the field of ‘experimental phenomenology'.Presents and discusses a new perspective in ...
