The chapters are divided into 6 parts corresponding to the key areas of investigation:
- Integrative visual agnosia
- Perception of global form
- Face perception
- Colour perception
- Word recognition
- Changes over time
Each part contains a short introduction, written by the two leading researchers who worked with John, which highlights the relations between the papers and demonstrates the pathway of the case analysis. The book will be invaluable to students and researchers in visual cognition, cognitive neuropsychology and vision neuroscience.
