Sensation and perception goldstein 10th edition pdf download

First we will consider the philosophical questions that humans have long posed about perception, and study the methods and techniques scientists use to try to answer them. We will study the sensory pathways, fundamental perceptual processing, and higher-level meaning-making.

We will cover the orienting senses, skin senses, chemical senses smell and taste , audition, vision, and the perception of time. We will consider sensation and perception from several perspectives: physiological, psychophysical, ecological, motivational, and computational.

This diversity of viewpoints also allows us to look at multi-sensory perceptual processes. The course will be largely in lecture format, with as much discussion as possible. Class participation will be important to your success in the course. There will be two midterms and a final exam.

There is also a laboratory associated with the PSYC course. I believe that advanced undergraduate graduate level courses and all graduate level courses should focus on discussion and integration with other courses. However, in order to have a meaningful discussion in this topic area, there are a lot of facts to learn first: historical dates; the parts and functioning of the perceptual systems; neural pathways and brain regions; theories; processes; functions; etc.

Students will be left to learn many of the more straightforward facts through the required reading, supplemental resources e. You may be tested on all material covered in lectures, as well as material from the textbook and additional required readings that is not covered in class.

Where necessary, more complex material will be taught, and examples worked, in class. As much time as possible will be reserved for discussion, much of it led by students. However, there is a lot to learn, so in order to get the chance to discuss, we may move quickly through basic material.

You are expected to have read the required material before class, and be prepared to contribute to an integrative and meaningful discussion.

In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, students with bona fide disabilities will be afforded reasonable accommodation. The GT Office of Disability Servies will certify a disability and advise faculty members of reasonable accommodations. Students are expected to do their own work at all times and to follow the university's codes of academic conduct and the honor code.

This is an unpleasant process for all involved, so please do not put yourself in this situation. Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner--this entails handing assignments in on time and showing up for class, labs, and exams at the appointed time.

Late assignments will not be accepted, and make-up exams will not be given. If some form of GT-approved prior commitment prevents a student from taking an exam at the given time, PRIOR arrangements including documentation where appropriate should be made with the instructor.

Note that the final exam will be scheduled by the Registrar, and not the course instructor. Final exam scheduling conflicts will be resolved according to official university procedures. Extra work, after the semester, is not allowed to "bring up" a grade. A student's grade shall be earned from their performance solely on the semester's work.

Grading is determined by a semester-long accumulation of points, weighed in percentage as summarized below. It is usually not necessary to adjust or curve grades. Such adjustment would only be done at the end of the semester, and not on individual assignments or exams. The grade for the lecture portion of the course will be converted to a score out of 75 points, and added to the lab score. That sum will be the final grade for students in This course stresses the scientific study of sensation and perception.

One way to learn more about, and also to support, psychological science is to participate in studies and experiments underway in the School of Psychology.
