Visual space perception: Introduction
Šikl, Radovan ; Šimeček, Michal
The topic visual space perception is widely investigated for a long time. During the history, it was of the principle interest for philosophy, visual arts, geometry, optics, physiology and other disciplines. Also, in the times beginning of psychology as a science, the research was often concerned with the questions related to depth perception. In this paper, we introduce the principle questions studied in the field together with the experimental methods used and characteristic results. Finally, we present our own research focused on trade-off between particular spatial descriptors and on selected aspects of the relationship between visual and physical space.

Technical instruments in psychology in the period of 1870-1900
Vobořil, Dalibor
During the technical revolution, the society focused on the scientific way of gathering information about the world and also on the use of technical instruments for studying scientific phenomenons. Even psychology was influenced by this technical fascination. It used adapted instruments from other scientific disciplines but later also developed its own instruments aimed to measure specific psychological phenomenons.

It has just been here, but: Moving towards operational definition of consciousness in unconscious perception research
Špok, Dalibor
If we want to take unconscious perception research further beyond general methodological and philosophical discussions, towards tangible experiments, we are faced with particularly difficult problem – to bring into line third-personal approaches with subjective phenomenon, which appears to the third person only vicariously. Lots of suggestions how to define consciousness operationally in unconscious perception research in contemporary cognitive psychology have been made, as well as many critiques of such attempts. This article shows the intractability of the term consciousness for acceptable consensual operationalization. It points at the consequences emerging from objective/subjective perceptual threshold discrimination, qualitative differences paradigm, process dissociation paradigm, and direct/indirect effects paradigm.

Eye movements in information acquisition – methodological view
Lukavský, Jiří
Most information, which we use in our lives, was first acquired by vision. The vision is not a passive receptor simply registering the pieces of information in the environment, but it also involves a selection mechanism. We can investigate this process with eye trackers and estimate, which pieces of information the subject knew and which attracted him. This report introduces these methods and their possibilities in cognitive psychology.
