Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of perception is devoted to explaining the operation of the senses and the experiences and behaviors resulting from stimulation of the senses. Perceptual processes such as recognizing faces, seeing color, hearing music, and feeling pain represent the actions of complex mechanisms, yet we usually do them easily. The Encyclopedia of Perception presents a comprehensive overview of the field of perception through authoritative essays written by leading researchers and theoreticians in psychology, the cognitive sciences, neuroscience, and medical disciplines. It presents two parallel and interacting approaches: the psychophysical, or determining the relationship between stimuli in the environment and perception, and the physiological, or locating the biological systems responsible for perception. Are there any processes not associated with perception? Surely there are, but the pervasiveness of perception is truly impressive, and the phenomena of perception and its mechanisms are what this encyclopedia is about.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important divisions in the human mind is between perception and reasoning. We reason from information that we take ourselves to have already, but perception is a means of taking in new information. Reasoning can be better or worse, but perception is considered beyond reproach. The Rationality of Perception argues that these two aspects of the mind become deeply intertwined when beliefs, fears, desires, or prejudice influence what weperceive. When the influences reach all the way to perceptual appearances, we face a philosophical problem: is it reasonable to strengthen what one believes or fears or suspects on the basis of an experience that wasgenerated by those very same beliefs, fears, or suspicions? Drawing on examples involving racism, emotion, and scientific theories, Siegel argues that perception itself can be rational or irrational, and makes vivid the relationship between perception and culture.

Download or read book The Psychology of Perception written by Magdalen Dorothea Vernon and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 1971 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we look at the world with our eyes, do we see it as it really is? In this authoritative study the former Professor of Psychology at the University of Reading shows how, behind the retina of the eye, many more fallible mental processes cause errors and inconsistencies to creep into our perceptions. Here is a non-technical outline of the psychological processes which have been shown to be involved in our visual perceptions of things around us. These perceptions of shape, colour, movement and space develop gradually from infancy upwards. Finally this book, which is based on over thirty years of psychological research at Cambridge and elsewhere, shows how the perceptions of different people are not always alike : they vary with attention, interest and individual personality factors.

Download or read book Perception written by Frank Jackson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1977-05-05 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the nature of, and what is the relationship between, external objects and our visual perceptual experience of them? In this book, Frank Jackson defends the answers provided by the traditional Representative theory of perception. He argues, among other things that we are never immediately aware of external objects, that they are the causes of our perceptual experiences and that they have only the primary qualities. In the course of the argument, sense data and the distinction between mediate and immediate perception receive detailed defences and the author criticises attempts to reduce perceiving the believing and to show that the Representative theory makes the external world unknowable. Jackson recognises that his views are unfashionable but argues in detail that they are to be preferred to their currently favoured competitors. It will become an obvious point of reference for all future work on the philosophy of perception.

Download or read book Visions of Reality written by Alberto Rivas and published by E-Booktime, LLC. This book was released on 2007-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting book is an in depth study of abnormal perception and behavior. It examines how, without our knowledge, our brain secretly pushes, pulls, twists, and warps our perceptions with a mind of its own, without regard for morals, stubbornly persistent in wrongdoing, devoid of good sense or judgment, resistant to guidance or discipline, blindly and obstinately attached to some creed or opinion and intolerant toward others. This book explains how the nature of reality is distorted by our senses, turning our perceptions into an amalgam of illusions, delusions and deceptions, from which we determine our behavior. This is an excellent book written by an intellect well versed in his subject. The most abstruse complexities have been made comprehensible to the general reader; opening scenes that startle you with their depths of impenetrable mystery, and taking you on a fantastic journey through infinity. The author's skill and perfect pacing, as he presents scientific facts in the realm of psychological perception, stand alone in this extraordinary volume of knowledge.
