MSPII_Test2 Flashcards
T/F
Vection can be caused by visual stimulation?
True
Vection is considered to be a category of illusory or visual motion?
IT IS NOT CONSIDERED to be a category of visual motion.
What is vection sometimes referred as?
Self-vection
What contributes to visual motion perception
Retinal motion
Eye/Head motion
Which motion system requires motion of the object’s image across the retina?
Retinal motion perception
Which motion system keeps the information about the object motion within the visual pathways?
Retinal motion system
Which motion system keeps the retinal image of moving objects still on the fovea?
Eye/Head Motion
Which motion system involves the muscular, oculomotor control, and vestibular system?
Eye/Head Motion
What is the perceptual disappearance of a stabilized retinal image referred to as?
Troxler effect
What kinds of changes is the human visual system sensitive to?
Changes in light stimulation!!!
How is a retinal image considered stabilized?
When it moves exactly with the retina.
Can an eye make voluntary or involuntary movements and still considered to be stabilized on the retina?
True, as long as it moves exactly with the retina.
T/F?
Troxler effect is related to spatial frequency?
True
T/F?
Neurons tuned to low spatial frequency do not tolerate more motion before responding?
False
They do tolerate more motion before responding at low spatial frequency. Object is easier to follow.
Why don’t we see the arteries and veins in our eyes?
Troxler effect.
Talk to me about the shadows of blood vessels as being stabilized retinal images.
They move with the retina as the eye moves so their position on the retina does not change.
T/F?
The minimum amplitude of perceivable motion varies with retinal eccentricity?
Verdad
Fovea: 20 arc seconds or less
40 degrees from fovea: 5 arc mins
T/F?
The minimum velocity of perceivable motion is worst when it is near a stationary reference stimulus?
False.
It is much better, matter of fact 10X better.
T/F Retinal motion detection thresholds decreases with increasing luminance?
True
What is the purpose of vision?
To acquire knowledge
What is V4 responsible for?
Color
What is IT responsible for?
Form perception/faces
What is V5/MT responsible for?
Motion
What is V1 responsible for?
Contour edges and orientation
The { } is defined by erroneous perception due to incomplete, ambiguous, or contradictory visual information
Visual Illusions
What does many geometric illusions involve?.
Ambiguous or misleading monocular depth cues.
What does geometric illusions reveal?
Rules for sensory signals when there is a mismatch in processing the various “primitives” that make up the percept.
What are the four geometric illusions?
Muller-lyer illusion
Herring illusion
Wundt illusion
Zollner Illusion
With the muller-lyer illusion, the weird house; which constancy do we use to help us out?
Size constancy to try to align the off-scaling.
Due to ambiguous information, we are tricked and it doesn’t work.
T/F?
We tend to interpret everything in 3D?
True
Name two examples of Stripey illusion
Oppel-Kundt illusion
Helmholtz Square illusion.
We process direction differently from…………….
Location!!!
Seen especially with café wall and tilt illusions
T/F?
Figure ground problems are also ambiguous?
Cierto.
What are some properties of figure ground segregation?
- The figure is More memorable
- Figure is seen as in front of the ground
- The ground is seen as unformed material
- Separating contour belongs to the figure(If pic has two things in it; you can’t see both at the same time; contours gotta belong to somebody).
T/F?
Symmetry helps out a lot with Figure/Ground things?
True
What is another name for bottom up?
Feature analysis
