Sensation and Perception is a student-friendly textbook consisting of 16 chapters covering in detail the perceptual processes related to vision and hearing, taste and smell, touch and pain as well as the vestibular and proprioceptive systems. Individual chapters cover separate topics including the fast-developing areas of perception of emotions and attractiveness and recognition of faces, plus newer topics such as changes in perception throughout the lifespan and pathologies of perception. The book also covers important trends in perceptual research, such as the increasing use of brain imaging, studies of interactions between different senses, and of the perception of natural scenes. Detailed descriptions of methods and suggestions for future studies enable the student to understand how research in perception is done, and encourage them to pursue their own experiments.Key features: * Summaries of key topics and questions encourage students to consolidate learning *'Thinking about Research' sections encourage students to design their own studies * End of chapter 'Test yourself' questions help students to review key terms and topics * Annotated further readings provide students with an opportunity to extend their knowledge * A companion website includes PowerPoint slides and a testbank of multiple-choice and short-answer questions for instructors and a self-test quiz of multiple-choice questions for students. Covering the latest research in the field with lots of features for instructors and students, this textbook is essential reading for psychology students taking a Sensation and Perception course at undergraduate level.
'John Harris has decades of experience on how to get students interested in perception, not the hottest topic for most psychology students. In his book, he draws on this experience to get the reader motivated in understanding the problems to be solved in perception research, the methods used and the often surprising insights gained, using hearing and seeing as main examples. John also makes clear that there is still much more to uncover and that humans are still better at most perceptual tasks than computers are. A fun book to read' -- Manfred Fahle 'The breadth of coverage is greater than most other textbooks of its type. The entertaining summaries and test questions will be enjoyed by undergraduates. The book may be broad, but its coverage is deep, so both graduate students and their supervisors will find it a useful reference for material they do not know they do not know. I shall be recommending this book to my students' -- Arnold Wilkins
