PSY V3500 Psychology of Perception
This course reviews basic psychophysics, psychophysiology and signal detection theory before an in-depth study primarily of vision and audition, with some comparisons from the touch systems and small and taste. Examination of the visual system will comprise both modern structuralist receptive field approaches and behavioral approaches from the Gestalt psychologists through Gibson and visual scene building and attention. Classes are primarily lecture and demonstration.
