E. Bruce Goldstein's Sensation and Perception has helped a myriad of students understand perceptual research and how the results of this research relate to everyday experience. A key strength of this text has always been its ability to illustrate concepts through examples and visuals. Dr. Goldstein and new co-author Dr. James Brockmole take students on an intriguing journey through the senses with both clarity and thoroughness, combining their extensive classroom experience and the most innovative research to create a visual, colorful text. MindTap®, the digital learning solution available with the text, features an updated Exploration feature that enhances students grasp of concepts by enabling them to view experimental stimuli, perceptual demonstrations, and short film clips about the research being discussed.

New to this Edition

The time-tested features from previous editions -- including "Demonstrations" that illustrate principles, "Methods" sections, and "Developmental Dimension" segments -- have been carried over into this edition.

The Exploration feature in MindTap® -- the digital learning experience available with the text -- enables students to view experimental stimuli, perceptual demonstrations, and short film clips about the research being discussed. These features have been updated in this edition, and new items have been added to the labs carried over from the ninth edition. Most of the items have been generously provided by researchers in vision, hearing, and perceptual development.

This edition has been updated throughout with discussions of cutting edge research in the field. Especially noteworthy are a revised and more "student friendly" first chapter, and an expanded treatment of basic auditory mechanisms and music perception. The text also includes approximately 85 new full-color figures.

Dr. James R. Brockmole, University of Notre Dame, joins Bruce Goldstein as co-author of this edition. His research focuses on the representation of visual information in the mind and brain, the allocation and control of visual attention, and the many interactions between perception, memory, and action.
