PINEDA, María Andrea  y  SCHERMAN, Patricia. Experimental Studies on perception since Psychology´s professionalization in Argentina. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.1, pp. 295-316. ISSN 1808-4281.

The aim of this paper is to analyze the place that experimental studies on perception had in Argentine Psychology after professionalization. Three research groups were identified to be devoted to perception studies during the period 1960's to 1980's: CIAL, LIS and UNCy/UNSL. Their leading figures and research streams are described. It is also inquired the cohesiveness these groups reached as a national scientific community. From a polycentric standpoint, their linkage to the international scientific community is also examined. Finally, some idiosyncratic institutional and cultural issues of Argentine Psychology Programs are discussed regarding the limitations of experimental studies on perception`s development.
