Answer 8

Corridor Illusion

Question 9

This is when 2 lines with the same length appear to have different lengths.

Answer 9

Mueller-Lyer

Question 10

This is a cognitive process that initiates with our thoughts which flow down to lower-level functions, such as the senses.

Answer 10

Top-Down processing

Question 11

This is when a stimulus is ambiguous, unfamiliar and/or poorly recognized, we have to learn how to perceive it.

Answer 11

Perceptual Learning

Question 12

This is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when a change in visual stimulus is introduced and the observer does not notice it.

Answer 12

Change blindness (i.e. highlight magazine back in the day)

Question 13

This is perceiving objects as having constant shape, size and color regardless of changes in perceptive, distance and lighting

Answer 13

Perceptual Constancy

Question 14

What are the 4 type of constancies?

Answer 14

1. Lightness
2. Color
3. Size
4. Shape

Question 15

What are the 5 types of form perception?

Answer 15

1. Proximity
2. Similarity
3. Symmetry
4. Closure
5. Figure Ground

Question 16

This type of processing is bombarded by sensory information; sensory input from the environment

Answer 16

Bottom up processing

Question 17

This is a cognitive process that initiates with our thoughts which flows down to lower level functions like the senses.

Answer 17

Top-Down processing

Question 18

What are the 4 monocular gues to depth perception?

Answer 18

1. Motion Parallax
2. Accommodation
3. Angular Detection
4. Pictorial

Question 19

This is a response bias seen when the stimulus is sufficiently ambiguous and open to differing perception.

Answer 19

Stimulus ambiguity

- when cues of the environment are missing; perception can differ

Question 20

What test is a classic example of top-down processing??

Answer 20

Stroop test - “say the color, not the word”

Question 21

This is when a stimulus is ambiguous, unfamiliar and/or poorly organized; we must learn how to perceive it

Answer 21

Perceptual Learning - improved by hints/details/training

Question 22

This is a perceptual phenomenon that occurs when a change in a visual stimulus is introduced and the observer does not notice it..

Answer 22

Change blindness

Question 23

What counteracts change blindness?

Answer 23

Attention spotlight

Question 24

This is perceiving objects as having constant shape, size and coclor regardless of changes in perspective, distance and lighting.

Answer 24

Perceptual constancy
