Q

Müller - Lyer Illusion

A

(lines of same length with arrows facing either way)

missapplying size constancy

22
Q

Ames Room Illusion

A

(room looks square but is trazoidal so person B looks much closer)
missapplying size constancy

23
Q

Ponzo Illusion

A

(two horizontal lines and two converging lines)

missaplying size constancy

24
Q

parvocellular pathway

A

retina > axons > optic nerve > LGN > primary visual cortex

25
Q

magno cells

A

mainly in the periphery of the retina

detect changes in brightness, motion and depth

26
Q

parvo cells

A

throughout retina

detects changes in colour, pattern and form

27
Q

simple cells

A

responds based on orientation

opponent fashion

28
Q

complex cells

A

respond based on orientation and direction

no “off-zones”

29
Q

supercomplex cells

A

respond based on orientation, direction, and length

have very specific inhibitory regions

30
Q

retinotopic mapping

A

neighboring objects on the visual field will be processed by neighboring areas in your brain

31
Q

cortical columns

A

there are 5 layers of neurons, each layer responding to stimuli that come from the same category

32
Q

preferential looking method

A

used to determine that infants prefer the most complex stimuli they can percieve

cataract

A

distrupt light from passing through lens

44
Q

PVC damage

A

like looking through a keyhols, will lose vision in some areas

45
Q

extrastriate cortex damage

distrupt recognition of objects

46

Q

prosopagnosia

inability to recogize faces

fusiform face area is damages
