characteristics of visual perception system Flashcards
what does rttsoi stand for
really tired turtetles sit on islands. reception transduction transmission selection organisation interpretation
reception
the eye receives light and focuses it on the retina
transduction
the process where photoreceptors in the retina turn electromagnteic energy into electrical impulses so the brain can recognise the informatin
transmission
electrical impulses are sent to the virtual cortex(brain) along the optical nerve to be processed
selection
specific parts of the stimuli are chosen and attended to
organisation
the visual information is organised and interpreted by arranging the features in a meaningful way
interpretations
giving meaning to the visual information so we can understand what we’re looking at
sensory receptors
specialised cells that detect various types of stimuli and turns it into electrical signals
