A pioneering report on eidetic imagery by psychology professor, University of Marburg, here translated from the second edition. Includes Part 3: recent developments added to this English edition. Describes this study of eidetic perceptual images as the first systematic application of typological methods of investigation. Eidetic imagery is not the only material of his investigations, but the topological method was first applied there. Eidetic images are intermediate between sensations and images. Like ordinary physiological after-images, they are always seen in the literal sense, as are sensations. In other respects, they can also exhibit the properties of images. Just as there are different shades of orange, which all lie somewhere between pure red and pure yellow, so, too, the slightly intensified after-image and the projected, literally visible, memory image are the limiting cases between which the spectrum of eidetic images lie. We can therefore make use of a similar symbolic representation, as is usual in colour theories. Our Book No: 13637. $30 AUD.
