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
The development of sight
Newborns can see, but their vision will improve significantly by two month of age
- at eight month of age, visual actuality is similar to adults
Strabismus
Lack of coordinated movement of both eyes; affects about 25 - 4% of the population
Amblyopia
A loss of visual abilities a weaker eye; abnormal development of the Brian’s visual cortex due to a failure to recive coordinated viausl stimulation from both eyes at the age of six
Braille
A form of reading skill used by individuals with visual impairments
Kinisethtic
Receptor cells in your muscles ell the Brian when e are moving and where our body parts are in space
Vestibular
Located in the semicircular canals of our inner ears; the movement of fluid tells us if we are standing up or swaying from side to side
