Caracteristici
- Organizes coverage of vision and hearing around systems, functions, and pattern perception.
- Includes numerous real-life and applied examples to enhance comprehension and student interest.
- Allows students to try experiments on their own using minimal equipment and time with several informal demonstrations contained in the text.
- Offers a well-rounded pedagogical program that includes section summaries, In-Depth sections, Key Concept reviews, Review Questions, and a glossary.
Caracteristici noi
- Eight of the thirteen In-Depth sections are completely new, and the remainder have been revised and updated.
- Documents 1,300 new references, 600 of which are from 1990 and later.
- Updates information on the two visual pathways, parvocellular and magnocellular.
- Reorganizes the section on distance perception to provide greater clarity.
- Increases the emphasis on the physiological bases for motion perception through a separate section in Chapter 8 devoted to that topic.
- Adds a substantial amount of new information to the sections on music and speech perception, pain perception and pain control, and odor identification.
