Product Description
Product Description
This work is a revision of Sekuler and Blake's text on sensation and perception. The third edition focuses on developments in perceptual research, blending anatomy, physiology and psychophysics to explain structure and function. New features include a revised and expanded methods section, increased coverage of speech perception, an expanded and refined touch chapter and more emphasis on cognitive issues. Chapter summaries, boxed demonstrations and computational examples are also included. This edition also contains a broadened and reorganized chapter on knowledge and perception around a simple new taxonomy of the four main models of interaction between knowledge and perception. The chapter on touch has been expanded to include important new research. An enhanced chapter on colour vision reflects new ideas on the genetics and evolution of colour vision. More than 250 new references and more than 200 new illustrations and drawings are also featured. The following are also available: an instructor's manual (0-07-056086-2); computer test bank 5.25" (0-07-832275-8); computer test bank 3.50" (0-07-832276-6); computer test bank MAC (0-07-932277-4).

If you are studying undergraduate Psychology and want a clear, concise and fun book on Perception, this is it. It is pitched at the right level. Good pictures and diagrams, which explain more than words can. It aims to promote understanding.
Format:Hardcover
My review is not about the quality of this book in the overall (which if very interesting). But if you already know its latest edition, you will find that buying the older ones does not have so much information. Also, although the book was stated as in good condition or like new...it was all marked with colours underlying the text...and that is just too confusing to read. Make sure you are buying something with nobody's comments on it!
