Visual masking is a technique used in cognitive research to
understand pre-conscious processes (priming, for example),
consciousness, visual limits, and perception issues associated with
psychopathology. This book is a short format review of research
using visual masking: how it has been used, and what these
experiments have discovered.Topics covered include concepts,
varieties, and theories of masking; masking and microgenetic
mechanisms and stagesof visual processing; psychopharmacological
and genetic factors in masking, and more.
Provides succinct information about the widely dispersed masking
studies and points out some new trends in masking research Reviews
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) as an alternative to the
traditional psychophysical masking methodsComments on the
methodological pitfalls hidden in the practice of masking, helping
to improve the quality of future research where masking is used as
a tool Informs readers about recent developments in theoretical
attempts to understand masking

This open access textbook provides the background needed to
correctly use, interpret and understand statistics and statistical
data in diverse settings. Part I makes key concepts in statistics
readily clear. Parts I and II give an overview of the most common
tests (t-test, ANOVA, correlations) and work out their statistical
principles. Part III provides insight into meta-statistics
(statistics of statistics) and demonstrates why experiments often
do not replicate. Finally, the textbook shows how complex
statistics can be avoided by using clever experimental design. Both
non-scientists and students in Biology, Biomedicine and Engineering
will benefit from the book by learning the statistical basis of
scientific claims and by discovering ways to evaluate the quality
of scientific reports in academic journals and news outlets.
Hypothesis testing is a common statistical analysis for empirical
data generated by studies of perception, but its properties and
limitations are widely misunderstood. This Element describes
several properties of hypothesis testing, with special emphasis on
analyses common to studies of perception. The author also describes
the challenges and difficulties with using hypothesis testing to
interpret empirical data. Many common applications of hypothesis
testing inflate the intended Type I error rate. Other aspects of
hypothesis tests have important implications for experimental
design. Solutions are available for some of these difficulties, but
many issues are difficult to deal with.
Designed specifically for non-majors, PHYSICS: A CONCEPTUAL WORLD
VIEW provides an engaging and effective introduction to physics
using a flexible, fully modular presentation ideal for a wide
variety of instructors and courses. Incorporating highly effective
Physics Education Research pedagogy, the text features an ongoing
storyline describing the development of the current physics "world
view," which provides students with an understanding of the laws of
nature and the context to better appreciate the importance of
physics. The text's appealing style and minimal use of math also
help to make complex material interesting and easier to master,
even for students normally intimidated by physics or math. For
instructors who want to incorporate more problem-solving skills and
quantitative reasoning, the optional, more detailed, "Problem
Solving to Accompany Physics: A Conceptual World View" student
supplement reveals more of the beauty and power of mathematics in
physics. The text can also be customized to fit any syllabus
through Cengage Learning's TextChoice custom solution program. In
addition, the new Seventh Edition includes a thoroughly revised art
program featuring elements such as balloon captions and numerous
illustrations to help students better visualize and understand key
concepts.
