• the textbook (3rd edition) is available from the Library (print), the Bookstore (paperback, looseleaf, ebook), Vitalsource (ebook), Sagepub.com, and Amazon.ca
• textbook (3rd edition) errata (depending on which printing you have; some errata may have been corrected in newer printings): - p.xii: the entry “Phase lizard” should be “Phase” - p.xxii: the URL edge.sagepub.com/schwartz3e should be edge.sagepub.com/schwartzsp3e - p.9: in the caption of Figure 1.6: “Perception is the process of converting physical stimuli, such as light and sound energy, into neural signals within our sensory organs.” should be “Sensation is the process of...” - - p.113: “Grunert et al., 2020” should be “Grünert et al., 2020”; also, the full paper by Grünert et al. (2021) confirmed that the superior colliculus gets most of its connections from the parasol retinal ganglion cells (i.e., M-cells, not via the K pathway) - p.157: “Patients with prosopagnosia recognize faces as faces but fail to recognize specific faces...” should read “Some patients with prosopagnosia recognize faces as faces but fail to identify specific faces...” - p.176, Figure 6.6 does not depict changes in saturation; this image is better - p.176, Figure 6.7 does not depict changes in brightness; this image (Yantis & Abrams, 2016) is better - p.177, Figure 6.5: the shapes on the left are the wrong colour--they do not have strong saturation; a corrected version is here - p.214 and p.254: “oculomotor curves” should be “oculomotor cues” - p.216: Figure 7.6 looks like it is taken directly and without attribution from Wolfe et al.'s Sensation and perception (2018, 2021, 2025) - p.238: in the caption of Figure 7.27: “...generally used in recent 3D movies.” should be “...generally used in older 3D movies.” - p.261: the differentiation between beta motion and phi motion is not clear; see lecture notes for an explanation - p.280: the explanation of motion-sensitive neurons uses “upward” and “downward” but describes the neurons as “N-l” (left) and “N-r” (right); change “N-l” to “N-u” and “N-r” to “N-d” - p.335: the formula dB = 10 log(p2/pr2) is mathematically equivalent to dB = 20 log(p/p0) - p.341: the section heading “Phase lizard” should be just “Phase” - p.455, Table 14.1: in the 4th column, 2nd row “SAI” should be “SAII” - p.531: “Grunert, U.” should be “Grünert, U.” - p.545: “Grunnert, U., 113” should be “Grünert, U.”

p.88: in the center-surround receptive fields shown in (b), the signs are opposite; that is, the + signs in the center region should be - signs, and the - signs in the surround should be + signs. A corrected version is
