The next 6 cover vision, including depth perception. 3 chapters are devoted to audition, and 1 each is given to smell and taste, touch, organic sensibility, and the perception of time and movement. A final chapter analyzes some of the factors that have inhibited and facilitated scientific progress. There is an index of names and one of subjects. References and comments follow each chapter and constitute a substantial portion of the book.(American Psychological Association).
