Chapter 8

Consider the following question: You have suddenly lost all perceptual constancies - what specific problems do you encounter? Create a scene- -in the form of a play, narrative, or newspaper article- -that illustrates a problem you might encounter.

Place a watch or clock in an empty room. Move across the room to a point where you do not hear the ticking. Approach the clock one step at a time and mark the spot at which you first hear ticking. Repeat this experiment 10 times, alternately approaching and backing away. What are your conclusions? Write a brief analysis.
