Q

Perceiving and Understanding ‘Scenes’

A

we perceive objects at locations within the
environmental context as part of some larger whole
– Collections of objects in the proper spatial relations to each other create “scenes”

Q

Do we have a good picture memory?

A

YES! We’re very good at remembering complex scenes
– In original version, people correctly recognized 98% of 612 pictures as ‘old’
– Still 90% correct a week later
– Can be in the 80 - 90% range with sets as large as 10,000
images

Q

A Problem: Saccade Speed

A

• We only make about 3–4 saccades per second
– This is too slow to account for our scene recognition abilities • We can observe more items in a scene than 3 - 4 per
second

Q

What are some problems with the Mosaic Idea?

A

• Requires a larger working memory load than we have
– Larger than the 7±2 working memory capacity
• Experimental results indicate that we can identify a scene in less than an eighth of a second (125 ms)

Q

Are we good at recognizing a scene after we see it?

A

Yes, We’re really good at recognizing scenes but we’re really bad at noticing details in a scene. We have ‘placeholders’ for things that ought to be in a scene but don’t fill in those blanks unless needed

Q

Physiology of Object Perception

A

• Some kinds of objects appear to be represented in specific parts of the brain
– e.g. faces appear to be represented in a special part of inferior temporal cortex
• If we’re attending to that kind of object, then that part of the brain should be more active

Q

How do we extract meaning from scenes?

A

To extract a scene quickly from perceptual elements, we appear attend to the ‘gist’ of the scene and ignore detail
• The ‘gist’ of a scene is its core meaning, what the overall scene is
• Change perception depends on the meaning of the change – If scene meaning stays the same, we don’t notice the
change
• A market is a market, independent of the color of some
guy’s pants

Q

What are the three parts of the ear?

A

– Outer ear
– Middle ear
– Inner ear

63
Q

What are the three parts of the outer ear?

A

• Pinna
– Collects sound and channels down auditory canal • Auditory canal
– Amplifies auditory frequency ranges
– Protects inner parts of ear from exposure • Tympanic membrane (eardrum)
– Boundary between outer and middle ear

64
Q

What are the two part of the middle ear?

A

• Bones
– Efficiently translate sound energy from air medium (outer ear) to fluid medium (inner ear)
– Direct air-to-fluid would result in a large amplitude loss
– Solid in-between make more efficient transfer
• Muscles
– Tense in presence of loud sounds – Protects inner ear

65
Q

What are the structures in the inner ear?

A
•  Cochlea
•  Three membranes 
– Reissner's

A

• Contain the Hair Cells called Stereocillia
• The ‘hairs’ of the hair cells
• Rest against (and partially embedded in) the tectorial
membrane
– The axons of the hair cells comprise the auditory nerve
help you hear!

71
Q

T/F: There are ion channels in the hair cells in the inner ear

A

TRUE

72
Q

T/F: The basilar membrane is not flexible

A

FALSE! It is very flexible, like a bedspread or a tin sheet

73
Q

How does traveling waves affect the basilar membrane ?

A

• Air pressure changes are translated via bone & fluid into traveling waves in the basilar membrane
– Air vibrates eardrum
– Eardrum vibrates middle ear bones
– Middle ear bones create waves of vibration in inner ear fluid – Inner ear fluid vibrates basilar membrane, creating wave

74
Q

What happens to the hair when the basilar membrane moves?

A

• As the basilar membrane moves it exerts a shearing force on the cilia resting against the tectorial membrane above it
– Membrane up, shears one direction
– Membrane down, shears the other
• Corresponds to phases of the sound wave cycle
– The waves of compressed and rarified air

75
Q

When the hair cells are at rest, cells are ______ firing

A

medium

76
Q

When hair cells are sheared over in one direction, the cells will ____________ firing

A

increase

77
Q

When the hair cells are cheated over in the opposite direction, the hair cells will _________ firing.

A

reduce

78
Q

What are the cilia of the inner hair cells attached to each other with?

A

tip links

79
Q

T/F: There is no such thing as “auditory transduction”

A

FALSE! Auditory transduction is how the hair follicles in the basilar membrane send signals to the brain

80
Q

How does auditory transduction work?

A

• As the hair cells shear, ion channels open and close in the hair cells. allowing K+ and Ca++ to enter the hair cell
• Ion flow changes in hair cells cause de- and hyper-polarization of the hair cells
• Changes firing rate in auditory nerve
– And that’s auditory transduction

81
Q

T/F: We can perceive frequencies higher than the fastest rate neurons can fire

A

TRUE!

82
Q

100
Q

T/F: the auditory pathway is less primitive than the visual system

A

false, the auditory pathway is more primitive than the visual system

101
Q

Why does the brain stem have so many nuclei for the auditory system?

A

Because unlike the visual system that can use retinotopy to provide location information, the auditory system only have the two points (ears) to provide location info, so they need a little extra help

102
Q

How can we gather location information from timing phase and amplitude?

A

time onset of a sound will impact ears because the sound will fall on one side of the head sooner than the other, helping your brain locate the sound. The head also acts a buffer, so the amplitude of a sound will be affected traveling from one ear to another.

103
Q

What does ITD stand for?

A

Interaural time difference

104
Q

Define: Interaural Time Difference (ITD)

A

Difference in onset time is due to the longer distance a sound has to travel to reach the more distant ear

Q

What is the auditory equivalent to the “haze” effect in vision?

A

The low and muffled sounds something makes when it is far away from you

123
Q

T/F: Sounds can come from multiple directions?

A

True!

124
Q

T/F: Sounds from close sources have a greater chance to

bounce off of things

A

False, they have less of a chance to bounce off things. Sounds far away have a greater opportunity to bounce off objects.

125
Q

T/F: Owls and Cats both make “maps” of an area by its sounds so they can locate prey

A

True

126
Q

The mapping in A1 is _______

A

tonotopic

127
Q

What is happens during tonotopic mapping?

A

Frequencies close to each other are coded next to each other on the basilar membrane, Projection fibers stay next to each other through the auditory system, Frequencies (sound pitches) close to each other are represented close to each other in the brain. EVERYTHING STAYS CLOSE TOGETHER

128
Q

T/F: A2 neurons respond better to complex stimuli

A

TRUE

129
Q

Explain what RSVP is

A

– Present stream of items, one at a time, at fixation, very
quickly (e.g. one every 100 ms)
– Make items distinct from one another (e.g. letters and
numbers)
– Have participants respond to one category of the items (e.g.
the numbers) while ignoring the others

130
Q

T/F: The differences that occur during an instance of change blindness can be fairly large and important, yet we often fail to perceive them.

A

TRUE

131
Q

____________ is fixing your eyes on one thing but attending to another thing in your surroundings without actually moving your eyes

A

covert attention

132
Q

Reading a book but being aware that there are peopling talking around you in a coffee shop is an example of

A

Divided attention

133
Q

Watching the pot to note the exact moment that the water starts boiling is and example of

A

sustained attention

134
Q

Picking one of few stimuli out of many stimuli is called

A

selective attention

135
Q

Define: response enhancement

A

an effect of attention on the response of a neuron in which the neuron responding to an attended stimulus gives a bigger response. Example: making a cell more responsive across the board because it is maximally responsive to vertical lines

136
Q

Define: sharper tuning

A

when a cell becomes more precisely tuned, and would make it easier for a neuron to find a weak vertical signal amid the noise

137
Q

What kind of problems do people face when they have a lesion in the right parietal lobe?

A

they have problems directing attention to objects and places on their left

138
Q

What is neglect?

A

Neglect is a disorder that is characterized by patients believing that part of the world is not there. If asked to explain something in the left visual field, patients will explain objects to the right and ignore the left.

139
Q

What is extinction?

A

when you can visually attend to something in either right or left field of vision, but if there is something in both of them, you can’t see the stimulus in the ipsilesional field

140
Q

What is simultagnosia?

A

The inability to perceive more than one thing at a time

141
Q

What are some symptoms of Balint syndrome?

A
  1. spatial localization abilities are greatly reduced, patients can’t reach for things very well
  2. patients with this disorder don’t move their eyes much, they usually stare ahead
  3. they behave as if they can only see one object at a time
142
Q

an example of inattentional blindness, (when a stimulus that would be easy to recognize if it was being attended to) is

A

the gorilla / basketball experiment.
