A revised and updated edition of the well-received text on sensation and perception. Features an integrated treatment of the main principles of sensation and perception within a bio-behavioral context, stressing specialized anatomy, physiological mechanisms and functional behavior with adaptive consequences. The main theories, principles and basic findings of the psychophysiology of sensation and perception are given a balanced overview. Contains many helpful pedagogical aids including chapter previews, study questions, key terms, demonstrations and references.

Provides coverage of all sensory processes from neurophysiology to cognitive perception. New features of this third edition include coverage of vision and hearing reorganized around systems, functions and pattern perception.

With a style that is both detailed and accessible, this new text from Johannes Zanker provides students with a solid understanding of how our sensory and perceptual systems operate, and interact with a dynamic world. It not only explains the scientific mechanisms involved, but discusses the costs and benefits of these mechanisms within an evolutionary, functional framework, to encourage important questions such as: What is a given sensory mechanism needed for? What kind of problem can it solve and what are its limitations? How does the environment determine how senses operate? How does action affect and facilitate perception? This unique, interdisciplinary framework allows students to see perceiving and acting as embedded in particular environments and directs them to think about the functional nature of these systems. The overall effect is an especially readable, authoritative text on Sensation, Perception and Action that really brings this fascinating topic to life.
