The Process Approach to Personality

More about the book

Exploring the concept of perceptgenesis, Professor Gudmund Smith and his colleagues challenge traditional views in psychology by documenting subjective phases in perception. They argue that feelings, meanings, and recognition are integral to the perceptual process, rather than mere responses to external stimuli. This radical perspective questions the objectivity and realism typically upheld in psychological studies, suggesting that perception involves assembling sensory experiences linked to memory before being projected back into the world. Smith's innovative methods provide a deeper understanding of how we perceive objects.
