The fourth book in Hoopoe’s All About Me series, What We See and Don’t See explores what science and research show about how we perceive our world. Readers will learn how the brain makes sense of what’s around us, and how it simplifies and organizes information - how we see what we see and, sometimes, don’t see what’s obviously in front of us. Author Robert Guarino explains how our five senses can be extended and our perception enhanced. He explores how there’s more to perception than what meets the eye (or ear, or nose, or…) - and how our culture can influence the way we experience our surroundings. This new edition of What We See and Don’t See has been revised to incorporate the latest research findings and meet the American Psychological Association’s National Standards for Psychology at the high-school level, the College Board AP Psychology standards and the National Board Standards for Science/Adolescence and Young Adulthood. The All About Me series presents books to help teens and preteens understand themselves and how they, as human beings, work. This is fundamental information, but we often forget to teach it in school - for example, what psychologists know about how we see, think, and feel; how these abilities work, change, grow or get stuck; and how reliable they are as we try to make sense of ourselves, our friends, our relatives and the world around us. There is good, solid information readily available and scientifically validated - and it’s all about you … and me.
