This is an excellent book for any Psychology student at Uni taking some form of perception course (helped me a great deal with my 1st year exams). The book goes into detail particularly for Visual, colour and auditory, as well as containing various chapters on different aspects of human perception - extremely useful as a general textbook to get started in psychology.

Format:Hardcover
This is a recommended text for my first year at uni (psychology). It has been a great help to me.
Good clear explnations of terms and theories and accompanied by quite a few pictures, which make it a bit easier on the eye, but are also very helpful at explaining things a bit better (I find the pictures also help me remember things better when it comes to exams).
Not too bad a text book all in all. Not too taxing to read and easy to find your way around, or for looking topics up.

EXCELLENT coverage of S & P
2 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
I chose Coren & Ward because a GRE study guide recommended it. C&W was the best GRE studying I did.
The writing is clear, the organization is great, the illustrations, diagrams, and inset examples are excellent. You can't do better than this to get an overview of S&P. Good introductory or mid-level book. Starts with all the basics (how the ear works, how we see color) and winds up with complex topics like how we perceive music.
A good reference book, it's even fun for browsing, or for sharing with friends and saying "This is so cool! Check this out!" (regarding some of the perceptual illusions and demonstrations etc.) How many textbooks can you say that about?

Cognitive
20 Nov 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I forgot I ordered this text. Too bad I didn't really need it for my Cognitive Psychology class. Everyone should read this text. Eye-opening lessons about sensation and perception. I think I will actually read it next year. Arrived in perfect condition and in time for mid-terms.
