Why We See What We Do Redux

Published by Sinauer Associates, an imprint of Oxford University Press.

When we look at an object, do we see what's really there? In this follow-up to the highly provocative Why We See What We Do, the authors argue that visual perceptions are reflexive manifestations of past behavioural success, rather than the result of a logical processing of present stimuli. The authors draw on a wealth of new evidence to support their argument, while retaining the clarity and energy that made the first edition so popular.
