Q

what are the two binocular depth cues

A

retinal disparity and convergence

17
Q

what is retinal disparity

A

a closer an object is the more the difference is between each eye

18
Q

what is convergence

A

when an object us closer our eyes converge ( come together ) to focuse on the object when they are further away our eyes relax

19
Q

what is a perceptual set

A

tendency to prefer certain asepects of our sensory environment

20
Q

what factors that can affect our perceptual set

A

ceem

21
Q

what is the c in ceem

A

culture - our perception can be affected by the social world around us

22
Q

what is the aim of hudsons study

A

can culture influence your perceptual set

23
Q

what was the method of hudson’s study

A

they were shown a photo

24
Q

what was the results of hudson’s study

A

black people said that the man was hunting the elephant and the white people said that it was an antelope

25
Q

what was the conclusion of Hudson’s study

A

this shows that culture can affect our perceptual set

26
Q

what is the e in ceem

A

expectation-burner and minter study though

27
Q

whe aim of burner and minter’s study

A

to see if our intrepratitaion of an is influenced by the context

28
Q

what is the method of burner and minter’s broken b study

A

participants where shown a broken b . a b can be interpreted as a b or a 13 and participants were mixed into the two groups . condition 1 wad the participants under the letter condition , condition 2 was the participants under the number condition

29
Q

what are the results of burner and minter’s broken b study

A

participants in condition1 were more likely to report seeing a b whereas participants in condition 2 were more likely to perceive the broken b as 13

30
Q

what is the conclusion of burner and minter’s broken b study

A

this shows that our perception set can influence the way we view the broken b . participants used there past experience to interpret the ambiguous figure

31
Q

evuation of burners and minter’s broken b study

A

supports Gregory constructivist theory , however the number 13 maybe significant to them , it can be used in real world situations

32
Q

what is m in ceem

A

motivation-gilchrist and nesberg motivation study

33
Q

aim of gilchrist and nesberg’s motivation study

A

investigate the effects of food deprivation on perception

34
Q

method of glichrist and nesberg’s motivation

A

paritcipants were randomly allocated into two groups . one went without food for 20 hours and the control group were not deprived of food . participants were shown 4 slides of an image with a meal . each slide was 15 seconds and then the participants had to adjust the projector with the meal with the

35
Q

results of giclhrist and nesberg’s theory of motivation

A

percipients who were deprived of food perceived the food to be brighter than they were actually while the control group had a more accurate at adjusting the brightness of the food

36
