The Nature of Perceptual Experience

"Naive realism" is the common-sense view that the world we see, hear, feel, taste, and smell about us is one and the same as the so-called physical world, existing apart from ourselves. It is called naive realism for it is a view of reality which every one of us naively assumes as we are growing up. It is not so much a matter of "indoctrination" by our educational systems that we are naive real...

Perceptual Experience And Its Contents

The contents of perceptual experience, it has been argued, often include a characteristic “non-conceptual” component (Evans, 1982). Rejecting such views, McDowell (1994) claims that such contents are conceptual in every respect. It will be shown that this debate is compromised by the failure of both sides to mark a further, and crucial, distinction in cognitive space. This is the distinction be...

Management of Thyroid carcinoma: Hahnemann experience

The primary treatment of thyroid carcinoma is surgery and the outcome depends on its extent. The post-operative management alternatives in thyroid carcinoma include thyroid hormone, radio-iodine ablation (I-131 Na), external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and occasionally adjuvant chemotherapy. This retrospective study analyzes the managements of 153 patients (102, 51), age range 10-96 yea...

Prenatal Perceptual Experience and Postnatal Perceptual Preferences: Evidence for Attentional-Bias in Perceptual Learning

Influence of past experience on perceptual grouping.

We used primed matching to examine the microgenesis of perceptual organization for familiar (upright letters) and unfamiliar (inverted letters) visual configurations that varied in the connectedness between their line components. The configurations of upright letters were available for priming as early as 40 ms, irrespective of connectedness between their line components. The configurations of ...
