Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In this investigation of the psychological relationship between shape and time, Leyton argues compellingly that shape is used by the mind to recover the past and as such it forms a basis for memory. Michael Leyton's arguments about the nature of perception and cognition are fascinating, exciting, and sure to be controversial. In this investigation of the psychological relationship between shape and time, Leyton argues compellingly that shape is used by the mind to recover the past and as such it forms a basis for memory. He elaborates a system of rules by which the conversion to memory takes place and presents a number of detailed case studies--in perception, linguistics, art, and even political subjugation--that support these rules.Leyton observes that the mind assigns to any shape a causal history explaining how the shape was formed. We cannot help but perceive a deformed can as a dented can. Moreover, by reducing the study of shape to the study of symmetry, he shows that symmetry is crucial to our everyday cognitive processing. Symmetry is the means by which shape is converted into memory.Perception is usually regarded as the recovery of the spatial layout of the environment. Leyton, however, shows that perception is fundamentally the extraction of time from shape. In doing so, he is able to reduce the several areas of computational vision purely to symmetry principles. Examining grammar in linguistics, he argues that a sentence is psychologically represented as a piece of causal history, an archeological relic disinterred by the listener so that the sentence reveals the past. Again through a detailed analysis of art he shows that what the viewer takes to be the experience of a painting is in fact the extraction of time from the shapes of the painting. Finally he highlights crucial aspects of the mind's attempt to recover time in examples of political subjugation.…

Condition: Very Good. : En este libro, Michael Leyton explora la relación psicológica entre la forma y el tiempo, argumentando que la mente utiliza la forma para recuperar el pasado y, por lo tanto, constituye una base para la memoria. El autor presenta un sistema de reglas mediante el cual se lleva a cabo la conversión a la memoria y presenta varios estudios de casos detallados en percepción, lingüística, arte e incluso subyugación política que respaldan estas reglas. Leyton observa que la mente asigna a cualquier forma una historia causal que explica cómo se formó la forma. Al reducir el estudio de la forma al estudio de la simetría, muestra que la simetría es crucial para nuestro procesamiento cognitivo cotidiano.
