Reviews

I was excited to see a book that included 'Action' both in the title and content since this aspect of perception is usually missing ... I think this book will help to complete the picture of perception and action. Richard Wilkie, Lecturer in Perception, Action and Cognition, University of Leeds, UK I thought the logical flow of ideas was one of the best aspects of this textbook. Fundamental concepts are introduced which allow the students to feel confident about the grounding of their knowledge ...The book is very readable and keeps one engaged ... and I think it will draw students into this area. Professor Alan Johnson, UCL division of Psychology and Language Sciences

Professor Alan Johnson, UCL division of Psychology and Language Sciences 'I found this to be a broad and interesting book, well worth investing in. As with all good textbooks this edition left me feeling that my knowledge had expanded; more importantly, it raised my appreciation of the subject and my awareness of further unanswered questions. It is a book I know I will enjoy reading again.' - Annabelle Redfern, School of Experimental Psychology, University of Bristol, Perception
