Regarded as one of the premiere experimental psychologists, Katz vigorously opposed the atomism and \"tachistoscopic\" mentality typical of the sensory psychology of his day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe World of Touch\u003c\/i\u003e, Katz sought to dispel the invidious distinction between the supposedly higher (e.g., vision, audition) and lower (e.g., touch) senses. To help touch regain its original prominence in the field, Katz demonstrated, through very simple, yet creative experiments, how fascinating the abilities of touch are, and how valuable the tactual stimulus can be in specifying objects, surfaces, substances, and events. In addition, Katz emphasized the importance of higher-order invariants in the perception of objects, and the holistic quality of perception in time as well as space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080580529X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805805291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"David Katz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48621791379711,"sku":"9780805805291","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-world-of-touch-david-katz-9780805805291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
