Recognition: A Logical and Experimental Study is a book written by Roberts Bishop Owen in 1914. The book explores the concept of recognition, which is the ability to identify or remember something or someone that has been previously experienced. The author approaches this topic from both a logical and experimental standpoint, using a combination of philosophical and scientific methods to examine the nature of recognition.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the logical analysis of recognition, exploring its various forms and the conditions under which it occurs. The author examines the role of memory, perception, and attention in recognition, and considers how these factors interact to influence our ability to recognize things.The second part of the book is devoted to experimental studies of recognition. The author conducts a series of experiments to test various hypotheses about recognition, using both human subjects and animals. These experiments provide empirical evidence to support the author's theories about the nature of recognition and its underlying mechanisms.Overall, Recognition: A Logical and Experimental Study is a comprehensive and detailed exploration of the concept of recognition. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the fields of psychology, philosophy, or cognitive science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
