Description
Drawing from captivating examples, lively visuals and the latest research, Goldstein/Cacciamani's SENSATION AND PERCEPTION, 11e, takes you on an intriguing journey through the senses, equipping you with a thorough understanding of perceptual research and how the results of this research relate to everyday experiences. Reflecting the latest developments from the field, the 11th edition is packed with cutting-edge research throughout, while approximately 85 all-new full-color figures bring chapter concepts to life. In addition, the Exploration feature in MindTap -- the digital learning solution that equips you with anywhere, anytime learning tools -- enhances your grasp of key concepts by enabling you to view experimental stimuli, perceptual demonstrations and short film clips about the research being discussed.
