Sensation and Perception

The introductory textbook Sensation and Perception, 2nd Edition, offers a clear presentation of perceptual science. It examines the foundational sensory mechanisms that govern human vision, hearing, and the chemical senses of taste and smell.

Coverage also explores touch and pain, alongside the vestibular and proprioceptive systems that regulate balance and body awareness. The chapters explain how these internal and external sensory pathways function to shape overall human experience and environmental awareness.

Intended for college and university courses, this edition incorporates specialized Applications features throughout the chapters. These integrated sections assist students by connecting fundamental theoretical concepts directly to everyday situations and real-life contexts.
