Welcome
The new edition of Foundations of Sensation and Perception will enable the reader to achieve a firm grasp of current knowledge concerning the processes that underlie our perception of the world, and will be an invaluable resource for those studying psychology, neuroscience, and related disciplines.
As in the previous editions, the early chapters allow you to grasp fundamental principles in relation to the relatively simple sensory systems (smell, taste, touch and balance) before moving on to more complex material in hearing and vision. The text has been extensively updated, and this new edition includes:
- a new chapter devoted to attention and perception
- over 200 new references
- over 30 new figures and improved, more colorful, visual presentation
This companion website has also been updated and offers an array of supplementary materials for both students and instructors. It includes:
- Animations and simulations of key perceptual phenomena
- Chapter summaries
- Multiple-choice and gap-fill quizzes
- Flash cards to test definitions of key terms
- A comprehensive chapter-by-chapter glossary of key terms used in the book.
Access to the Student Resources is freely available and free-of-charge.
- A testbank of multiple-choice questions
- A set of short-answer questions per chapter to stimulate discussion
- The figures from the book in PowerPoint
Access to the Instructor Resources is restricted to instructors only by password protection. These resources are free of charge to qualifying adopters.
