Virtual Anthropology Lab - The Mind Project When completing this lab, you become a field anthropologist conducting a study in cognitive linguistics focusing on color terms. Virtual books introduce the physiology of color perception, the physics of light, and current methods of data gathering using a Munsell Color Chart. You will start by being a subject in your own study. You will then interview virtual informants from three different cultures. You will record your observations on a "data sheet" that you must print up before you get too far into the Lab. Your browser must support Flash to play this lab. Download Adobe Flash Player.

This gives us, so far, only those particulars which constitute one thing at one time. aspects through the laws of perspective. The definition of a "momentary thing" involves problems concerning time, since the particulars constituting a momentary thing will not be all simultaneous, but will travel outward from the thing with the velocity of light (in case the thing is in vacuo). photographic plate. 27. 28.
