Examining the current state of the research in perception stressing
contributions in visual information processing, this volume
provides an original and timely account of recent results obtained
in this and other related areas of cognitive psychology. The scope
of the book is intended to be broad, featuring state-of-the-art
contributions from a number of outstanding researchers from
different parts of the world -- the United States, Europe, and
Australia. The intention is to update areas of considerable
theoretical implications and active experimental investigation in
this broad field called the "psychology of perception." This
volume's main purpose is to highlight, from a cognitive position, a
selected number of important theoretical and empirical topics which
deal with critical issues in perception and other high level,
related cognitive processes such as attention, mental
representation, memory, word naming and semantic categorization.
The studies reported were designed to answer many far-reaching
questions including: * Is the global precedence effect due to low
or high level processing? * Can veridical and illusory perception
be explained by the same theory? * What is the relationship between
attention and perception? * Is perception "direct" or an
inferential process? * What mechanisms are involved in picture and
word naming and categorization? * How can word and picture
processing be modeled? The answers to these questions seek to unite
theoretical perspectives on very important areas of cognitive
psychology such as attention, perception, representation of visual
objects and words, and human memory.
