Here is some information on
the issue of "two visual systems -- focal and ambient"
that I mentioned yesterday:
1. Basic ref:
Leibowitz, H. W., & Post, R. B. (1982). The two modes of processing
concept and some implications. In J. Beck (Ed.), Organization
and representation in perception (pp. 343-363). Hillsdale, NJ:
Erlbaum.
2. A short "bio" on Leibowitz (he was a really good
guy, plus a great researcher!):
----------------
Herschel Leibowitz is internationally recognized for his groundbreaking
work on human vision and perception, and the causes and mitigation
of human error. His work has helped to explain why teenagers like
to speed and why astronauts get motion sickness, and he developed
a laser system to measure a person's "dark focus," the
point at which the eye focuses at night. The author of about 250
publications, he has conducted research spanning many additional
disciplines, including physiology, ophthalmology, neurology, biomechanics
and optometry.
He has said that his greatest professional achievement, however,
is the number of students who have passed through his classroom
on their way to success in psychology and other fields. He taught
introductory psychology to generations of students and in 2002,
the American Psychological Association published Visual Perception:
The Influence of H.W. Leibowitz, a volume of work by his former
students and colleagues honoring his career and his contributions
to the field. He retired in 1995. [Note: and died not long thereafter]

don't get too buried in the irrelevant "Constructionist vs.
Gibsonian" controversy...

If, by a miracle of mechanical ingenuity, a book could be so arranged that only to him who had done what was directed on page one would page two become visible, and so on, much that now requires personal instruction could be managed by print.
