Sensation and Preception Flashcards
(28 cards)
Study of how we organize our sensory worlds
Preception
Study of how our senses organizes physical stimuli from the outside world into neural codes
Sensation
Anatomy of the eye
Visual
Photo sensitive layer
Retina
Dark colors
-black & gray
Rod Cells
Color and fine detail
Cone Cells
Contains cone cells rod cells
Night vision
Fovea
Ability to detect distance
Depth Preception
Refinal Disparity & Convergence
Binocular Cue
(Under Depth Preception)
(Two eyes)
When the image from each eye are fused into one image by the brian giving depth
Refinal Disparity
Brain sensing the degree your eyes turn in word to keep an object in focus
Convergence
Accommodation
Monocular Cue
(Under Depth Preception)
(One eye)
Brian is sensing how thick or thin the lens is
Accommodation
Linear Perpestive
2-D Representation
Pictorial Cues
Under Depth Preception
2 parallel lines appear to converge Overlap inter-position Texture Gradient- object lose detail in distance Change in size Aerial Perspective Motion Parallax
Linear Perpestive
Fog or haze gives distance
Aerial perspective
Motion implies distance
Objects closer move by faster
Motion parallax
Figure-Ground Reversal
Pull an object from the background
Gestalt Law of Organization
Group of objects together based on their distance apart
Proximity
Gestalt Laws of Organization
Group objects based on their looks
Similarity
Gestalt Laws of Organization
Brings an object to its complete appearance
Closure
Gestalt Laws of Organization
Group objects to make simple stimuli
Continuity
Gestalt Laws of Organization
False Perceptions
Illusions
Ex:
-Moon Illusion
Processing use of your beliefs knowledge and experience to determine what you are seeing
