Suggestions for Further Reading
Hoffman, D. D. (1998). Visual intelligence: How we create what we
see. New York: Norton.
Matlin, M. W., & Foley, H. J. (1992). Perception (3rd ed.).
Boston: Allyn and Bacon.
Hoffman's book is a thoughtful and engaging discussion of how the
visual system constructs a model of the world. Matlin and Foley's work
is one of the two books that I recommended at the end of Chapter 6.
