In a series of original essays, 15 leading members of the international scientific community report on their investigations. Using new techniques, new information, and new methods of analysis, they offer fresh insights into the important problems in the field. The first chapter offers an interesting historic overview of the field, and the last chapter brings into focus a variety of methodological, empirical, and theoretical questions that recur in the essays. By presenting the work of a widely dispersed group of investigators working in laboratories around the world, a catholicity of views and modes of analysis are achieved. This book will be of value to experimental psychologists, sensory physiologists, students, and investigators in the field of perception." -- Contents: 1.
