ultimate Flashcards
principle of componential recovery
we can rapidly and correctly identify an object if we can perceive its individual geons
cortical magnification factor
the fovea has 8-10% of information in retinoic maps at cortex
theory of unconscious inference
we unconsciously use our knowledge to infer things
precedence effect
you are going to get the information which first arrives you, direct info will be faster than the one which bounces
colour conitancy
ability to perceive colors as relatively constant over varying illuminations
cone confusion
points in the auditory space with a similar ITD and ILD, make it complicated to localize sound
missing fundamental
2 sounds create a fundamental tone (lowest frequency), however this frequency is not of a sound itself, is the result of 2 sounds
Feature Integration Theory
sensory information arrives in parallel and is processed by different pathways. Temporal and Spacial bundles are needed
frequency
number of pressure variations per second
additive synthesis technique
build a sound by combining multiple waves of different levels and frequencies
pitch
position of sound determined by presence of fundamental frequency
periodicity pitch
pitch without fundamental frequency
tone
quality of sound made up of overtones and fundamental tone
timbre
used to differentiate two sounds with the same frequency
