Sensory and Perception (3d) Flashcards
Proximity
Objects that are physically close together are grouped together
Similarity
Similar objects are grouped together
Continuity
Objects that continue a pattern are grouped together
Closure
We fill in small gaps in objects so that they are perceived as whole objects
Figure ground ( top down processing laws)
The tendency to perceive one aspect as the figure as the figure and the other as the background
Binocular cues
Cues from both eyes
Retinal disparity
Different images of objects are cast on the retinas of each eye
Convergence
The tendency of the eyes to move toward each other as we focus on objects close up
Relative height
We see objects that are higher in our visual plane as farther away than those that are lower
Texture gradient
We cause see more details of textured surfaces, such as wood grain on a restrung table, that are close to us
Relative height
When we look at two objects we know are the same seize, of one seems smaller than the other we see it as father away than the other
Linear perspective
Parallel lives seem to converge in the distance
Perceptual constancy
Our top down tendency to view objects as unchanging, despite shifts in the environmental stimuli we recive
Size constancy
We perceive objects the same size regardless of the distance from which it is viewed
Have constancy
We see an object the same shape, no matter from what angle it is viewed
