{"product_id":"perception-of-causality-1","title":"Perception of Causality","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1963, this is a classic work on the psychology of perception. By means of suitable patterns on a partly concealed rotating disc Michotte was able to give the impression of objects in movement; and where certain conditions of speed, position, and time-interval were satisfied, his subjects received the impression of a causal interaction between two objects – for example, the impression that one object has ‘bumped into’ another (the ‘Launching Effect’) or is carrying it along (the ‘Entraining Effect’). In a further group of experiments Michotte studies the conditions in which moving objects look as though they are alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA large number of experiments are described, and on the basis of them Michotte formulates a theory as to the conditions in which causal impressions occur. He also compares his own views on causality with those of Hume, Maine de Biran, and Piaget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238748868952,"sku":"9781138698420","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138698420_191fc3b1-54d6-468c-90d2-c7289d2bece5.jpg?v=1768564851","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/perception-of-causality-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
