For the most part, we have
been concerned in this chapter
with veridical perception, how 
innate processes of 
organization and form 
description (with the help of 
past experience, under some 
conditions) enable us to 
reconstruct a perceptual world 
that adequately corresponds to 
the objects in the real world. 
Only occasionally did we 
encounter examples of 
nonveridical perception, as in 
the case of camouflage—–and, 
interestingly enough, 
camouflage reflects the 
working of the same perceptual 
processes of organization that 
ordinarily lead to veridicality. 
In the next chapter, the 
emphasis is reversed, with the 
focus on illusions in patterns 
of one kind or another. The 
question will be whether or not 
we can explain these illusions 
in terms of the very same 
principles that, under other 
circumstances, lead to correct 
perception.
