The course objective is to consider the processes of sensory inputs and perception. Approaches ranging from psychophysiology
and cognitive psychology to physiology and anatomy will be used. In considering the psychology of sensation and perception,
some of the anatomical and physiological aspects of selected senses will be covered in detail and the roles of experience,
organization of inputs, and theories of perception are discussed. Topics to be emphasized will vary with the instructor, but
may include ontogenetic development, learning, and modification of inputs and their perception. Students will participate
in on-line laboratory demonstrations and experiments. (Also offered through Distance Education format.) (C)
