ABSTRACT

YOU’VE NOW JOURNEYED through many chaptersinto which we’ve somewhat arbitrarily separated our discussion of many senses. However, throughout the text (consistent with Theme 1), we’ve pointed out the connections among your senses and the integrated nature of your perceptual experience. Nowhere is the multisensory nature of your experience more obvious than in taste and smell. These two senses are frequently grouped together under the name chemical senses because both are sensitive to chemical stimulation.
