Product description

Review

Praise for the previous edition (2e): 'The interrelated phenomena of sensation and perception are fascinating subjects for students of the mind and brain. Sensation and Perception will draw students into the topic easily, luring them with engaging stories, colorful images, and fun demonstrations that will make them want to explore the brain's complex mechanisms for making sense of the world. ! this is a welcome addition to the textbooks of similar vein, because it is fresh and friendly, and is stamped with the mark of its high-quality scientist authors.' --Leslie P. Tolbert, The Quarterly Review of Biology

    Good book which I have used for my undergrad Psych class. Kind of bulky and heavy, however provided a lot of easy-to-read info and has colored photos and diagrams for better learning. I found this book to be engaging and I have learned a lot from it.

    Per il mio esame di "neurofisiologia degli organi di senso" questo libro è povero di meccanismi molecolari alla base di alcuni sensi quali ad esempio olfatto e gusto, mancano le relazioni fra le cellule ed i circuiti eccitatori ed inibitori. Quasi metà libro tratta della vista rendendo poveri i capitoli del tatto, gusto e olfatto. A mio parere resta forse superficiale per un esame di magistrale ma ciò non toglie che il libro è ben scritto e molto interessante.

    Great in depth book, helps widen ideas about theories you may have when it comes how we sense or see the world around us and process the information. talks a lot about psychology of our thinking or how our brain perceives things we are looking at, touching, feeling, thinking, or experiencing.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Provides some cool info on Perception processes

    I rented this book for a psychology course I took in college. The book was really easy to understand and the chapters were quick to get through. I feel like it repeats a lot of information from other introductory psych courses and textbooks. However, it does give a little more information on the biology and processes of perception. If you need to get this text for a course, I would suggest renting or buying an older edition. It doesn't seem like they add too much to the different editions. Any new information would likely be covered in class. The text is a little big, but it's not heavy at all. It's real easy to take it to class.
