Hamlet --- The Age of Elizabeth

Hamlet --- The Age of Elizabeth
Introduces the work of perceptual psychologist J. J. Gibson, the first to conclude that some kind of information must be generated by visual stimulation to form a perception of the visual world. Focuses on the practical problem of landing an aircraft to discuss perceptual cues used to infer distance, height, and speed. Employs demonstrations and documentary film to ce and contrast two theories of perception: inference-based and ecological. Narrated by John Pickering of Warwick University. From the Introduction to Psychology series.
