Perception

Question 1

monocular depth cue

Answer 1

depth perception in one eye

Question 2

position

Answer 2

objects higher in the visual field are perceived as further away

Question 3

Examples of monocular depth cues

Answer 3

position, aerial perspective, linear perspective, relative size, interpolition

Question 4

binocular depth perception

Answer 4

depth perception in two eyes

Question 5

depth perception

Answer 5

how the eyes perceive the 3D world

Question 6

Relative Size

Answer 6

smaller objects are perceived as farther away

Question 7

Interposition

Answer 7

when one object overlaps another, it is perceived as closer

Question 8

linear perspective

Answer 8

parallel lines seem to converge as they go further into space

Question 9

Aerial Perspective

Answer 9

hazy objects appear further away

Question 10

Photoreceptors

Answer 10

Rods and Cones

Question 11

Rods

Answer 11

not sensitive to color, senses grays and black

Question 12

Cones

Answer 12

sense bright colors (red, green, blue)

Question 13

Ponzo Illusion

Answer 13

Both of the lines are the same size, however the line that is above appears smaller than the line that is on the bottom of the picture. This is because of the position of the yellow lines on the converging lines

Question 14

Muller-lyer illusion

Answer 14

Both of the lines are the same size, however people perceive line b as longer than line a. The reason for this is because people compare it to architectural features in our 3D world.

Question 15

light illusions

Answer 15

Both of the circles are the same color, they appear different because of the light and darkness surrounding them. Same with the squares, they are the same color, one of them just looks darker because it is in the shadow.

Question 16

Figure ground

Answer 16

organizing info so we see a figure and background

Question 17

similarity

Answer 17

similar stimuli are grouped together

Question 18

Proximity

Answer 18

nearby figures are grouped together

Question 19

Continuity

Answer 19

we perceive stimuli in smooth or continuous ways

Question 20

Closure

Answer 20

the mind fills in gaps to make an image complete

Question 21

Sensory Adaptation

Answer 21

decreased sensitivity to a stimulus over time

Question 22

Perceptual Constancy

Answer 22

the tendency to perceive physical objects as consistent even though there are changes in their appearance or in the physical environments.

Question 23

size constancy

Answer 23

something remains the same size

Question 24

Color constancy

Answer 24

a object is still percieved as the same color in different settings

Question 25

shape constancy

Answer 25

The shape is the same even though the angles are different

Question 26

Multimodal phenomena

Answer 26

stimuli that generate simultaneous information in more than one sensory modality.

Question 27

inverse effectiveness

Answer 27

As the responsiveness to individual sensory stimuli decreases, the strength of multisensory integration increases
