ABSTRACT

This chapter describes domains of conscious awareness, perspectives on visual perception, framework statements, logical analysis versus analysis by physics, color exclusion, transparency, color-blindness and the human form of life, 'dawning' and 'continuous seeing' of an aspect. It also includes the 'visual room' and private ownership, interpretation, duck-rabbit and other visual illusions and the grammars. The psychology of perception is concerned with what people see, hear, touch, taste and smell, and the means by which these are accomplished. Color vocabulary is limited by grammar and the human form of life. There seem to be three domains of objects and events of which people are consciously aware. First, there is the material world of shaped and colored things, arranged in space, and the events people are aware of as these things change in all sorts of ways. Second, there is the ever-changing domain of bodily sensations. Finally, there are the thoughts and the images that chase each other through minds.
