Psychology ,  Sensation and Perception
P329 ,  3679 ,  J. Gold

This course is an introduction to the study of sensation and
perception in experimental psychology. Although all of the sensory and
perceptual systems will be discussed (vision, audition, touch, taste
and smell), the emphasis will be on vision and audition. Topics in
vision will include pattern, perception, color perception, motion
perception, depth perception, and object recognition. Topics in
audition will include pitch perception, loudness perception, and sound
localization. Basic anatomy and physiology of the sensory and
perceptual systems will be discussed. The evaluation will consist
of exams and writing assignments. Each exam will be a
mixture of short answer and multiple choice questions. Writing
assignments will consist of sets of short problems related to the
course material.
