{"pk":20822,"title":"Rational Processes in Perception","subtitle":null,"abstract":"<p>In this paper we will give our reasons for believing&nbsp;that certain current attempts to explain perceptual&nbsp;phenomena on a lower level in terms of known sensorymechanisms&nbsp;are untenable. We will do this by focussing&nbsp;on two topics, lightness perception and the perception&nbsp;of apparent motion. We will summarize some older data&nbsp;(not all of which are sufficiently known) and will&nbsp;describe some recent work of our own. Finally, on a&nbsp;more positive note, we will try to indicate the direction&nbsp;that a theory must take if it is to deal effectively&nbsp;with these phenomena.</p>","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Symposium - Cognition and Perception","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6gp965s7","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Alan","middle_name":"","last_name":"Gilchrist","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""},{"first_name":"Irvin","middle_name":"","last_name":"Rock","name_suffix":"","institution":"","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"1981-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/20822/galley/10555/download/"}]}
