Psychological ReviewThe magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information.
17,493 Citations1956George Miller
The theory provides us with a yardstick for calibrating the authors' stimulus materials and for measuring the performance of their subjects, and the concepts and measures provided by the theory provide a quantitative way of getting at some of these questions.
Psychological ReviewThe magical number seven, plus or minus two: Some limits on our capacity for processing information.
17,276 Citations1994George Miller
About some experiments that tested how accurately people can assign numbers to the magnitudes of various aspects of a stimulus, and since the results are analyzed in terms of the concepts of information theory, I shall have to preface my discussion with a few remarks about this theory.

This psychological bulletin to read is a very fan of this kind of book and one to remember is not only the PDF, but also the genre of the book.
Psychological ReviewPerceptual learning: Differentiation or enrichment?
996 Citations1955James J. Gibson, Eleanor J. Gibson
The problem of the role of learning in perception has to do with perception and the effect of past experience or practice on it and the question of whether the authors can learn to do something by perceiving, orWhether they can only learn by doing it.
Journal of Abnormal & Social PsychologyA study in language and cognition.
772 Citations1954Roger Brown, Eric H. Lenneberg
The Whorf thesis on the relationship between language and thought is found to involve the following two propositions: different linguistic communities perceive and conceive reality in different ways and the language spoken in a community helps to shape the cognitive structure of the individual.
BrainDISORDERS OF “ldquo;SIMULTANEOUS PERCEPTION” IN A CASE OF BILATERAL OCCIPITO-PARIETAL BRAIN INJURY
252 Citations1959A. R. Luria
It is clear that the limited and fragmentary character of perception so often associated with occipito-parietal lesions cannot be wholly accounted for in terms of visual field defects.
Journal of the Optical Society of AmericaPerceived Color and its Dependence on Focal, Surrounding, and Preceding Stimulus Variables*
157 Citations1959Dorothea Jameson, Leo M. Hurvich
Sensory scaling experiments are reported which yield direct quantitative estimates of the hue, saturation, and brightness attributes of perceived color, and of the dependence of these attributes on variations in focal, surrounding, and preceding stimulation.

There is a positive correlation between poor size constancy and impaired ability for abstract thinking in schizophrenic patients and a cognitive theory—“Selectivity” theory—has been proposed as an explanation of these relationships.

53 Citations1958Albert A. Blank
The theory of binocular vision is given a foundation in the empirically defined relations of length ordering and alignment, and the requirement that the axioms reflect direct visual experience results in a development of the foundations of metric geometry which is unconventional in that topological assumptions as to the prolongation of segments are proscribed.

13 Citations1958Tom N. Cornsweet, H. Fowler +3 more
When very intense stimuli in the long-wavelength region of the visual spectrum are viewed continuously, they change in hue from red, through yellow, to green, and the relation of the time course of these changes to the intensity of the stimulus is reported.
