A few days ago I asked for text recommendations for a sensation and perception course. The responses have died down, so I figure we're done. Here's what came up: First, thanks to all who responded with a text recommendation. I appreciate folks taking time to help out. Two people said that they're using Matlin and Foley (1997). Fairness requires that I mention that one of the two is Hugh Foley. Both said that if they were to switch, they'd go with Goldstein. One other person reported having used M&F in the past and had disliked some of the descriptions in the book. One person really liked Coren, Ward, and Enns (1999), but another said that students had a hard time understanding it. Two recommended Schiffman (2000) with one saying that Goldstein is the leading text. Oddly, no one reported actually using Goldstein. Finally, no one especially liked Sekular and Blake. Of the two who mentioned it, one expressed an interest in seeing the new edition that's coming out this summer and the other said that he'd not switch to it. That's it for now. I've ordered copies of all the books that folks recommended. Thanks to all again for the help. Regards, Larry ************************************************************ Larry Z.
