"The perception of size, shape, position, orientation, distance and color, are the universal characteristics of the processes underlying all perception. Somehow, these complex processes acting in concert and beyond our awareness together create our perceptual experiences so that we have perceptual learning, which may be the prototype for all learning. Understanding what these processes are is no easy assignment. It is the end to which those of us working in perception strive. Perceiving is perhaps the single activity, which serves as the basis for all psychological life. Without it there would be no psychic life. Perception is the basis for all our learning. It is the starting point of all our knowledge or the world as well as for the pleasure and the pain we find in it" .
