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 camouflageΓÇöΓÇôand,
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.
