Reviews

from:Rosamond Gianutsos
"...the authors come from a range of specialties including human factors engineering, psychology, and at least one article comes from an optometric source. While some of the papers are narrow in their focus, many address broader themes and will fascinate behavioral optometrists." --Journal of Optometric Vision Development
