Download or read book Illusions of Reality written by James H. Korn and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some psychologists think it is almost always wrong to deceive research subjects, while others think the use of deception is essential if significant human problems are to receive scientific study. Illusions of Reality shows how deception is used in psychological research to create illusions of reality—situations that involve research subjects without revealing the true purpose of the experiment. The book examines the origins and development of this practice that have lead to some of the most dramatic and controversial studies in the history of psychology. Social psychology may be the only area of research where the research methods sometimes are as interesting as the results. The most impressive experiments in this field produce their impact by creating situations that lead research subjects to believe that they are taking part in something other than the true experiment, or situations where subjects are not even aware that an experiment is being conducted. These illusions of reality are created by using various forms of deception, such as providing false information to people about how they perform on tests or by using actors who play roles. The research described in Illusions of Reality includes significant and controversial experiments in the history of psychology that sometimes took on the characteristics of dramatic stage productions. The ethical issues raised by this research are discussed, and the practice of using deception in research is placed in the context of American cultural values.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illusions: A Psychological Study The present volume takes a wide survey of the field of error, embracing in its view not only the illusions of sense dealt with in treatises on physiological optics, etc., but also other errors familiarly known as illusions, and resembling the former in their structure and mode of origin. I have throughout endeavoured to keep to a strictly scientific treatment, that is to say, the description and classification of acknowledged errors, and the explanation of these by a reference to their psychical and physical conditions. At the same time, I was not able, at the close of my exposition, to avoid pointing out how the psychology leads on to the philosophy of the subject. Some of the chapters were first roughly sketched out in articles published in magazines and reviews; but these have been not only greatly enlarged, but, to a considerable extent, rewritten.

Book excerpt: Illusions,A Psychological StudyJames Sully"It was a happy thought that inspired Mr. Sully to direct his attention toward the subject of illusions. No other department of psychological investigation could better suit his peculiarly subtile turn for the unraveling of obscure mental processes; and in none other could his happy knack of minute introspection be employed to better advantage. He has acquired a novel field, for his treatment of illusions is purely psychological, and his essay is confined to what may be called normal or healthy cases, so that it has little in common with the treatises of medical authorities on the illusions of the insane; and he has set forth his matter in so easy and pleasing a manner that it may be read with interest even by those who know little or nothing beforehand of mental science....As a whole we have to thank Mr. Sully for a most instructive and yet a most interesting and entertaining study." -The Academy"Like Virgil's two gates of horn and ivory, true concepts and precepts pass through the one, and illusions or false concepts or percepts through the other....In a small octavo volume he has given us a chapter on morbid psychology, which, as we have already observed, is essential to anything like an intelligent study of psychology. As he observes, 'If illusion has its roots in ordinary mental life, the study of it would belong to the physiology as much as to the pathology of mind.' He goes on to observe that while illusions are an important branch of study to 'alienists,' as he calls them by an awkward Gallicism for 'mad doctors,' they are also important to the psychologist as such. The diseased perception teaches us what the normal perception should be." -The Literary World...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our contact with the world is through perception, and therefore the study of the process is of obvious importance and signi?cance. For much of its long history, the study of perception has been con?ned to natural- tic observation. Nonetheless, the phenomena considered worthy of note have not been those that nurture our survival—the veridical features of perception—but the oddities or departures from the common and c- monplace accuracies of perception. With the move from the natural world to the laboratory the oddities of perception multiplied, and they received ever more detailed scrutiny. My general intention is to examine the interpretations of the perc- tual process and its errors throughout history. The emphasis on errors of perception might appear to be a narrow approach, but in fact it enc- passes virtually all perceptual research from the ancients until the present. The constancies of perception have been taken for granted whereas - partures from constancies (errors or illusions) have fostered fascination.
Download or read book Seeing is Deceiving written by Stanley Coren and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, originally published in 1978, the authors survey the historical and contemporary research literature pertaining to two-dimensional visual-geometric illusions. They bring together much of the known data, summarising and evaluating theories that have been offered to explain these phenomena. Coren and Girgus provide a new conceptual framework that suggest that visual illusions are not unitary phenomena. Within this framework, illusions do not represent a breakdown in normal perceptual processing. Rather, it is proposed that each illusion is produced by a number of mechanisms operating at different levels in the visual information processing system. The book contains an extensive collection of illusion figures. It will be essential reading for all of those concerned with vision and visual perception, since it integrates the study of illusions into the main body of psychological and perceptual theories at the time.
