Maintaining the strong pedagogy, abundant student-friendly examples, and engaging conversational style of the previous editions, the sixth edition of this introductory textbook makes technical scientific information accessible to those who are beginning to specialise in cognitive psychology. Sensation and Perception is newly available in a more affordable paperback version, making it ideal for undergraduate students.
In this new edition, Bates has built on Foley and Matlinβs core text to add updates focusing on multisensory integration, neural plasticity, and cognitive neuroscience, as well as real-world examples and practical applications of psychological phenomena. The sixth edition retains the clear organisation of previous versions, covering a wide range of core topics, from skin senses such as touch to chemical senses such as taste and smell, to our complex visual and auditory sensory systems.
This book is essential reading for undergraduates and postgraduates studying courses on sensation and perception.
