Percieving objects and scenes

Question 1

viewpoint invariance

Answer 1

reasons for change in lightness and darkness can be unclear. objects may look different from different angles/shades but we can still recognize them

Question 2

structuralist view

Answer 2

created by wendt in the late 1800s
perceptions are created by combining sensations
how we see things doesn’t explain how we see apparent movement
spaced circles with lines through them-we see a box

Question 3

gestalt view

Answer 3

the whole differs from the sum of its parts

perception is not from the sum of its parts but a result of organization

Question 4

pragnaz - gestalt principals of organization

Answer 4

every stimulus is seen as simply as possible-olympic rings separated

Question 5

similarity - gestalt principals of organization

Answer 5

similar things are grouped together- different color dots

Question 6

good continuation - gestalt principals of organization

Answer 6

connect points resulting in straight or smooth curves

Question 7

figure ground segmentation

Answer 7

deterring what part of a picture is important
vase with faces
which ever we see as the foreground means the background continues behind the forground

Question 8

RBC recognition by components (structural description models)

Answer 8

only parts are shown but the feature is recognizable
volumetric features make it recognizable
these features are called geons

Question 9

view invariant properties (properties of geons)

Answer 9

aspects of the object remain visible from different viewpoints

Question 10

accidental properties (properties of geons)

Answer 10

a property that appears rarely and only from certain viewpoints

Question 11

discriminability (properties of geons)

Answer 11

ability to distinguish geons from one another

Question 12

principles of componential recovery (properties of geons)

Answer 12

ability to recognize an object if we can identify its geons

Question 13

what are the areas of the brain involved with perception and identification

Answer 13

FFA-fusion face area- faces
IT cortex- what the object is presented as
PF cortex- deciding what the object really is

Question 14

context (perceptual intellegence)

Answer 14

your perception of a given context

• you are given money from a charity even though you have a job- context
• you know its wrong to take this - perception

Question 15

light from above huristic (perceptual intellegence)

Answer 15
