Perception and the Physical World: Psychological and Philosophical Issues in Perception
How can we conceive of the relation between the available sensory input and our perceptual achievement? Does our perceptual system exploit the sensory input in terms of innately determined knowledge of properties of the physical world?

Sensory Perceptual Issues in Autism and Asperger Syndrome: Different Sensory Experiences, Different Perceptual Worlds
The ability to perceive accurately stimuli in the environment is basic to many areas of academic, communicative and social functioning.

This comprehensive collection of current research in the development of speech perception and perceptual learning documents the striking changes that take place both in early childhood and throughout life and speculates about the mechanisms responsible for those changes. The findings reported from this rich and active field address the role of growing linguistic knowledge and experience and demonstrate that speech perception develops in a bidirectional interplay with several levels of linguistic structure and cognitive processes.
