For many years behaviorism was criticized because it rejected the
study of perception. This rejection was based on the extreme view
that percepts were internal subjective experiences and thus not
subject to examination. This book argues that this logic is
incorrect and shows how visual perception, particularized in the
study of form recognition, can be carried out from the behavioral
point of view if certain constraints and limitations are understood
and accepted. The book discusses the idea of representation of
forms, considers the major historical neural, psychological, and
computational theories of form recognition, and then concludes by
presenting a modern approach to the problem. In this book, William
Uttal continues his critical analysis of the foundations of modern
psychology. He is particularly concerned with the logical and
conceptual foundations of visual perception and uses form
recognition as a vehicle to rationalize the discrepancies between
classic behaviorism and what we now appreciate are legitimate
research areas.
