Publisher's Synopsis
The history of psychology is filled with fascinating studies and classic psychology experiments that helped change the way we think about ourselves and human behavior. Sometimes the results of these experiments were so surprising they challenged conventional wisdom about the human mind and actions. In other cases, these experiments were also quite controversial.
Described by eminent psychologist Richard Gregory as "perhaps the most famous experiment in the whole of experimental psychology," George Malcolm Stratton spent several days continuously wearing specially adapted lenses which inverted his visual image up and down and left and right. Stratton's novel and pioneering studies served as a catalyst for research into binocular vision and depth perception which continues to this day.
Between November 1896 and September 1897 Stratton published his experimental aims and experiences in the Psychological Review, the full details of which are contained herein.
