Q

If you are looking at an object 4m away, another object located 4.2m away will be…?

A

In Uncrossed Disparity

26
Q

A

True

27

A

False

28
Q

As you approach an object, the visual angle that the object subtends will ___.

A

Increase

29
Q

For the size-distance scaling mechanism, which variable quantitatively measures a physical quality of the stimulus?

A

Retinal Image Size

30
Q

Which explanation for the Muller-Lyer illusion is more generic?

A

Conflicting Cues Theory

31
Q

True or False: In the Ames room, the person who is located further away from the viewer is perceived as being larger

A

False

32
Q

If the Interstimulus Interval between frames in a cartoon is too long…

A

Consecutive frames will be perceived one at a time, but without motion

33
Q

Why do Elementary (Reichardt) Motion Detectors need 2 photoreceptor inputs?

A

To respond if a feature moves a certain distance over a specific time

34
Q

Which visual motion area has the largest receptive fields?

A

MST

35
Q

All motion in the aperture problem is seen as moving _______ to the elongated contour/edge.

A

Perpendicular

36
Q

According to the Corollary Discharge theory, motion is perceived when the Comparator is…

A

Unbalanced

37
Q

Mixing blue and yellow ____ will produce green, but mixing blue and yellow ____ will produce white.

A

paint // light

38
Q

What was the major finding of the spatial attention pre-cuing task?

A

Valid ques decrease reaction time.

39
Q

Which statement is true about visual search according to Anne Treisman’s feature integration theory?

A

Conjunction search will usually take longer the more distractors there are.

40
Q

When a subject views an image for the first time, what determines where they will saccade to first?

A

They will saccade to salient features first.

41
Q

Which type of person with color vision deficiency has the highest neutral point?

A

A person with Tritanopia.

42
Q

What question best captures the essence of the binding problem?

A

How are individual features combined to create perception of a coherent object?

43
Q

In Anne Treisman’s feature integration theory, which stages have parallel vs. serial information processing?

A

Preattentive stage is parallel; Focused attention stage is serial.

44
Q

How is the “Y-“ created in a B+Y- single opponent color sensitive neuron?

A

The B+Y- neuron receives inhibition from both M and L cones.

45
Q

Pick the answer that best describes the way a green apple interacts with white light.

A

The green apple absorbs shorter and longer wavelengths and reflects medium wavelengths.

46
Q

What information would be most important for you to locate the border of a painted square on the outside wall of a building?

A

The reflectance edges of the square created by the paint’s pigment.

47
Q

True or False: Perception of biological motion is impaired following damage to area MST.

A

False

48
Q

Jona is standing closer to you than Sean. From your perspective, as you side-step to the left you notice that your view of Jona blocks your view of Sean. Which statement describes depth cues that tell you who is closer?

A

Jona deletes Sean

49
Q

Which theory for the Muller-Lyer illusion uses the contours produced by the inside and outside corners of rooms as part of its explanation?

A

The misapplied size constancy scaling theory.

50
Q

You are fixating on Sam. Timmy starts walking towards you, starting farther away than Sam, then passing beside Sam, finally ending up closer to you than Sam. Which statement describes the binocular disparity of Timmy during his journey?

A

Timmy starts in uncrossed disparity and finishes in crossed disparity.

51
Q

Kaylee is viewing a horizontal stripe through a small porthole. The stripe is moving at -45 degrees (i.e. down and to the right). What direction will Kaylee perceive the motion?

A

straight down

52
Q

Which of the following pictorial depth cue works at any distance from the viewer?

A

occlusion

53
Q

You have created a computer simulation of an elementary motion detector. If you set the delay to a large value, the motion detector will respond best to…

A

slow motion

54
Q

Shauna is on a ZOOM call using slow WiFi. Instead of smooth motion, she perceives individual video frames presented one after the other, but each one appears stationary. What is the problem with this apparent motion stimulus?

A

The interstimulus interval is too long.

55
Q

Why would a person perceive motion when pushing gently on their eyeball while fixating on a stationary spot?

A

The pushing causes the eye muscles to contract to maintain fixation, but no retinal image motion.

56
