Description
Written for a one semester course in Sensation and Perception at the Junior/Senior/Grad level, this book combines sensation and perception with all biological-sensory aspects of perception covered from an evolutionary point of view. The text raises the key question: How do the senses gather and secure information about the outside world? The authors address this basic question by explaining how the physical world interacts with and stimulates the senses, and, in turn, how the senses and the nervous system transform, integrate, and process the stimulation. No specialized background beyond a basic course in psychology is assumed.
