[edit] Changes

Going to revert the last changes and begin working to integrate their material into the WP article. I have a concern that this appears to be a quotation from a printed/published source and, lacking context for this update, would rather be safe than sorry. PilotPrecise 01:38, 10 March 2004 (UTC)

There seems to be more types of perception. Along with Color, Depth, Form, and Speech perceptions, there could also be time, and speed perceptions. Time is perceived; when doing activity it seems as though time is progressing faster or slower (a watched pot never boils). Speed is perceived, the perception of traveling slower after exiting a freeway and a reduction of measured speed. Maybe, I am not understanding the meaning of types of perception.

[edit] modeling

"Many cognitive psychologists hold that, as we move about in the world, we create a model of how the world works" Which psychologists? jVirus Image:Confederate Battle Flag.svg 15:21, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, Jean Piaget, Eleanor Gibson, Ulric Neisser, Donald Norman to name a few old timers. Be more interesting to name any current cognitive psycholigists who deny the same proposition.Edison 21:58, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Object-centered vs. Viewer-centered

Shouldn't this page at least mention these things? It also seems there are no separate pages for them, even though that seems appropriate, too. As far as I know, this is still an ongoing discussion within the field of Perception as understood by Psychology? Gijs Kruitbosch 11:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Perception and reality

This section is not NPOV. It is certainly not agreed upon that we do not directly experience objective reality. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 139.184.30.17 (talk) 11:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC).

Erm, I'm not a registered wikipedia contributor but this needs removing:

"is wikipedia feeding me bullshit? why can anyone edit this. think about it."

Thanks
