Question 1

(lecture):

Read the green writing on page 1 of my G doc notes.

Answer 1

(lecture):

Question 2

(lecture):

How does a camera work? And so how are cameras different to our vision?

Answer 2

(lecture):

See page 1 + 2 on my G doc notes.

Question 3

(lecture):

Describe 2 examples of studies that demonstrate how our visual perception is different to that of cameras.

Answer 3

(lecture):

Craik-O’Brien-Cornsweet Effect.

See page 2 + 3 on my G doc notes.
