Index Brunswik, E. (1956). Perception and the representative design of psychological experiments (2nd ed.). Berkeley, CA: University of California Press. The original index was prepared by Carolyn Hursch in about 1964, but some pages were lost and never found. In 1998, the missing pages were redone by Vivian Schneider at the University of Colorado, with the encouragement and guidance of Ken Hammond. a-variables 17 Absolute distances 63, 64 magnitude (of the constant error) 63 size 6 Abstract processes 22 Academic psychology 41 tradition of social perception of emotions 41 Accumulation of factors, successive 24-25 (or fractional) 27 Accuracy of perception 19 Achievement 30, 32, 34-35, 46, 48, 57, 67, 84, 93, 110, 140-143 distal 61, 100, 109 perceptual 34, 35, 45, 50 Acquisition of perceptual cues 123-131 Active arrangement 11 command of variables 12 control of variables 7-8 Actualgenesis 133 Actuality, perceptual 145 Acuity, visual 24 ad hoc 124 Adaptation level, 73 Adjacent area variable 15, 19 Adjustiveness, biological vii Adjustment 23, 71, 142, 143 cognitive 93 After the fact elimination 10 Aggregates of conditions 36-37 Agreement among judges 30, 35, 112-113 Aim, distal 61, 59-146 proximal 71 Albedo 21, 38, 123, 124, 125 Allport, G.
