| Summary: | "This monograph is based on a series of studies on disorders in perception made between 1943 and 1950. The investigations were begun at the U.S. Naval Hospital, San Diego, California. At that time, the subjects were patients with injuries to various parts of the nervous system sustained in battles of World War II . After the war the studies were continued in the Laboratory of Psychophysiology, Department of Neurology and Psychiatry, New York University--Bellevue Medical Center. Here, the source of material for investigation in perception was varied. It was obtained from four main groups: (a) Veterans with penetrating injuries of the brain; (b) Children with cerebral palsy; (c) Adult patients with diseases of the nervous system admitted to the neurologic and psychiatric divisions of Bellevue Hospital and a few to the neurologic service of the Mount Sinai Hospital, New York; (d) A large number of normal adults and children serving as control groups"--Introduction.
