It has been honed through multiple editions and is up-to-date and clear without pandering.” - Colin Ellard, University of Waterloo”Sensation & Perception does a great job linking neurophysiology to behavior and perceptions. It also offers a good balance between neuroscience and cognitive psychology.” - Dave Pittman, Wofford College”Sensation & Perception is clearly-written, with well-placed examples and graphics to effectively demonstrate the components and the significance of perception. Students will like the succinctness and simplicity of the author’s writing style.” - T.C. Sim, Sam Houston State University
