    'Working Memory, Thought, and Action' is the magnum opus of one of the most influential cognitive psychologists of the past 50 years.

  • - Other Mechanisms of Depth Perception
    av Ian P. (Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus and Founder of the Centre for Vision Research Howard
    4 819,-

    Volume 3 addresses depth-perception mechanisms other than stereopsis. It starts by reviewing monocular cues to depth, including accommodation, vergence, perspective, interposition, shading, and motion parallax. Constancies, such as the ability to perceive the sizes and shapes of objects as they move are reviewed. The ways in which different depth cues interact are discussed. One chapter reviews information used to perceive motion in depth. Pathologies of depthperception, including stereoanomalies and albanism are reviewed. Visual depth-perception mechanisms through the animal kingdom are reviewed together with a discussion of the evolution of stereoscopic vision. The next chapter describes how visual depth perception guides movements of the hand and body. Thenext three chapters review non-visual mechanisms of depth perception, including auditory localization, echolocation in bats and marine mammals, the lateral-line system of fish, electrolocation, and heat-sensitive sense organs. The volume ends with a discussion of mechanisms used by animals to navigate.

    S.S. Stevens' famous paper, On the psychophysical law, ignited a controversy relating to people's subjective judgements of physical reality. This brings together a diversity of ideas and a wealth of experimental evidence, and provides a challenging perspective on the question which has fragmented the research community for nearly 40 years.

  • av Doreen (Professor Kimura
    1 979

    This book deals with brain mechanisms in human communicative behaviour, from a broadly biological point of view. Particular attention is paid to the control mechanisms of the oral, manual, and brachial movements which form the basics of our communication systems, and the way in which these interface with auditory and visual systems.

  • av Columbia University) Graham, Norma Van Surdam (Professor of Psychology & Professor of Psychology
    1 365 - 2 009

    Organized to help the reader find needed information quickly and easily, this book emphasizes psychophysical experiments which measure the detection and identification of near-threshold patterns and the mathematical models used to draw inferences from experimental results.

  • - The Cognitive Psychology of Music
    av John A. (Professor Sloboda
    1 335,-

    What are the mental processes involved in listening to, performing, and composing music? What is involved in 'understanding' a piece of music? The author addresses these questions by surveying growing experimental literature on the subject.

  • - Their Role in Inferring Elementary Mental Organization

    1 849 - 2 625

    This is a study of how response times influence thinking about the mind. Professor Luce provides a review of the experimental data, and puts forward the idea of the hazard function. This function exaggerates the differences that normal analysis methods often obscure.

  • av Arnold J. ( Wilkins
    2 679

    Everyone has experienced visual discomfort of some kind or another. Visual stimuli which cause discomfort exist in a variety of everyday situations, from eye strain induced by VDU screens to garish carpets. Dr Wilkins has produced a unified theory of the mechanisms underlying visual discomfort, which has a number of applications including the treatment of epilepsy and the design of glasses.

  • av David (Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Milner

    First published in 1995, The Visual Brain in Action remains a seminal publication in the cognitive sciences. For this new edition, a very substantial and illustrated epilogue has been added to the book in which Milner and Goodale review the key developments that support or challenge the views that were put forward in the first edition.
