My lecture notes for Chapter 4 indicate what's important. That
Devil's Advocate Box is not Kid-sib-Friendly. Forget about it.
(And if anything else is not K-S-Friendly, ask, and I'll
either give you a kid-sib explanation or tell you to forget
it.)
Coming to hear Biederman talk about geons last week, and
Bachman about high and low spatial frequency vision
this week would have helped you understand Chapter 4.
