Object Perception

Bryan E. Shepp, Soledad Ballesteros

"...valuable to readers wishing to learn about methods and findings within the research areas covered...more useful than a priori arguments about the possibility of the necessity of such representations is the test of whether their properties can actually be determined. Anyone asking this question will find a wealth of thought-provoking evidence here..."—The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology"...This volume contains much new and interesting data...the breath of inquiry covered by the volume is compelling."—Contemporary Psychology
