Explore the edges of human perception and mind.
This book from The New Psychology offers a window into classic experiments on color vision, measurement, and the unseen forces shaping our thoughts and actions. Readable and accessible, it presents foundational ideas with practical tests and clear descriptions.
In these pages, you’ll encounter hands‑on tests for color blindness, discussions of measurement formulas, and experiments that probe how attention and suggestion influence movement and thought. The material stays focused on observable phenomena and the methods used to study them.
- Color perception tests and what they reveal about how we see reds, greens, greys, and other shades
- Principles of measurement, accuracy, and how to report experimental results
- Observations on passive and active movements, attention, and automated responses
- Thought-transference and the role of attention in perceptual experiments
Ideal for readers of early psychology and science history who want concrete examples of how researchers approached mind and sensation in the past.
