object recognition

Question 1

___________ refers to object recognition by parallel processing and feature detection

Answer 1

bottom up processing

*individual sensory stimuli and combines them together to create a cohesive image before determining what the object is

Question 2

____________ is driven by memories and expectations that allow the brain the recognize the whole object and then recogize the components based on these expectations

Answer 2

top down processing

*allows us to quickly recognize objects without needing to analyze their specific parts

Question 3

____________ refers to the ability to create a complete picture or idea by combining top down and bottom up processing with all the other sensory clues gathered from an object

Answer 3

perceptual organization

Question 4

____________ cues only require one eye and include relative size, interposition, linear perspective, motion parallax, and other mino cues

Answer 4

monocular

Question 5

___________ refers to the idea that objects appear larger the closer they are

Answer 5

relative size

Question 6

___________ means that when two objects overlap, the one in front is closer

Answer 6

interposition

Question 7

____________ refers to the convergence of parallel lines at a distance

Answer 7

linear perspective

Question 8

_____________ is the perception that objects closer to us seem to move faster when we chnage out field of vision (look at something else)

Answer 8

motion parallax

Question 9

___________ cues involve retinal disparity which refers to the slight difference in images projected on the wo retinas

Answer 9

binocular

Question 10

examples of binocular cues?

Answer 10

depth perception
convergence

Question 11

___________ is when the brain detects the angle between two eyes required to ring an object into focus

Answer 11

convergence

Question 12

form is determined by __________ cells, motion is determined by __________ cells

Answer 12

form = parvocellular
motion = magnocellular

Question 13

_____________ refers to our ability to perceive that certain characteristics of objects remain the same, despite changes in the environment

Answer 13

constancy

Question 14

_____________ are a set of general rules that account for the fact that the brain tends to view incomplete stimuli in organized and patterned ways

Answer 14

gestalt principles

Question 15

what are the five high yield gestalt principles?

Answer 15

1. law of proximity
2. law of similarity
3. law of good continuation
4. law of subjective contours
5. law of closure

Question 16

explain the law of proximity

Answer 16

elements close to one another tend to be perceived as a unit

Question 17

explain the law of similarity

Answer 17

objects that are similar tend to be grouped together

Question 18

explain the law of good continuation

Answer 18

elements that appear to follow the same pathways tend to be grouped together

Question 19

explain the law of subjective contours

Answer 19

shapes that are not actually present in the stimulus are still perceived

Question 20

explain the law of closure

Answer 20

when a space is enclosed by a contour, the space tends to be perceived as a complete figure

Question 21

________________ states that the perceptual organization will always be as regular, simple, and symmetrical as possible

Answer 21
