| Abstract: | Presents an obituary for Paul Kolers, psychologist and University of Toronto faculty member, who died of lung cancer on January 27, 1986. Kolers' early work was in vision research, and he maintained that interest throughout his career, although in his later writings he became progressively more concerned with the nature of symbolic representation and other semi-philosophical problems of mind. He contributed substantially to our knowledge of perceptual and cognitive processes, both through his trenchant analyses and critiques of current theories, and through his own imaginative experimental demonstrations and theoretical insights.
