    • Focus of the book: Connects mind, research, and everyday experiences in cognitive psychology
    • Key features: Includes Test Yourself sections for review, Think About It questions for deeper thought, Methods sections highlighting various cognitive psychology research approaches (brain imaging, lexical decision tasks, think-aloud protocols), and Something to Consider sections with cutting-edge research.
    • Textbook is updated and rewritten in some cases for 5th edition

    Chapter 3: Perception

    • Ambiguous stimuli: The stimulus on the receptors is ambiguous, hidden, blurred, or change from different viewpoints
    • High-level information: Scenes contain high-level information, essential knowledge
    • Approaches to object perception:
    • Helmholtz’s Theory of Unconscious Inference
    • Gestalt Principles of Organization
    • Regularities of the Environment
    • Bayesian Inference
    • Neurons and knowledge: Neurons respond to specific features (horizontals, verticals), experience modifies their response; experience-dependent plasticity
    • Perception and action:
    • Movement facilitates perception
    • Perception and action interact
    • Physiological aspects: What and Where streams; Brain ablation method; perception-action streams; Mirror neurons

    • Directing attention: Scene scanning (stimulus salience, cognitive factors, task demands), eye movements
    • New material in 5th Edition: Experience sampling method, distraction caused by mind-wandering, prediction controlling eye movements, attentional networks, effective connectivity
