Q

which side of the brain does visual information go to?

A

things in left visual field go to temporal representation in right eye or nasal representation in left eye (visa versa for right visual field).
at optic chasm, the nasal axons cross over to the other side of the brain & temporal axons stay on the same side. the visual fields are represented in the contralateral hemisphere.

1970- developed constructive theory of perception.
perception’s indirect & a constructive process of hypothesis testing.
these hypotheses help us understand sensory info based on our previous experiences (explains how perceptual errors occur)

77
Q

what is the gestalt psychologist theory?

A

presented 2 flashes of light in rapid alternating fashion to create an illusory movement. the whole is more than the sum of it’s parts.
we achieve perception of an object (i.e. gestalt) by perceptual organisation of the environments, e.g. by grouping elements & segmenting elements.

A

proximity- elements close together grouped together
similarity- elements that look similar grouped together
common fate- elements that move together are grouped together

Young, 1802.

was defined by von Helmholtz, 1852.

95
Q

what is the trichromatic theory of colour?

any colour can be matched correctly by adjusting the proportions of 3 different wavelengths. Colour’s based on 3 different types of receptor mechanisms
evidence- we have 3 types of cones for different wavelengths

96
Q

colour blindness
have no cones, so you only have rod vision (scotopic).
can perceive shades of brightness, & vision is slightly blurred

97

only rod vision

98
Q

what is dichromatism?

A

colour deficiency

have only 2 types of cones

99
Q

what is the opponent-process theory of perceiving colour?

A

if we are responding to one colour, we can’t respond to the afterimage one at the same time

100
Q

104
Q

what is some physiological evidence for the opponent-process theory of perceiving colour?

A

opponent neurons in V1, V4, & inferotemporal cortex can be either excited or inhibited by the wavelength that matches the colour channel they’re receptive to

105
Q

what are vertical object features?

A

depth & size (can verify/measure)

106
Q

what are oculomotor cues?

A

body-related depth cue
the state of the eyes- accommodation & convergence
how your eyes can inform you if an object’s close/near

107
Q

what is accommodation?

A

the relaxation of the ciliary muscles when an object’s far away & tightening when an object’s near

108
Q

what is convergence?

A

the eyes are parallel when looking at something far away & less so when close

109
Q

what are monocular cues?

A

stimulus-related depth cue
they work with 1 eye
we can extract 3D info from still 2D images using pictorial cues

110
Q

what are pictorial cues?

A 
a sub-category of monocular cues
occlusion
relative hight
relative size
perspective convergence
familiar size
atmospheric perspective
texture gradient
shadows
motion parallax
deletion & accretion
111
Q

what is occlusion?

A

partially hidden (occluded) objects are further away than occluding objects

112
Q

what is relative hight?

A

objects higher in the visual field are further away than objects lower in the visual field
objects with their bases closer to the horizon are further away than objects with their bases in front

113
Q

what is relative size?

A

when 2 objects are equal size, the one further away will take up less of the visual field

114
Q

what is perspective convergence?

A

converging parts of an object are further away

115
Q

what is familiar size?

A

knowledge about the physical size influences how far away we perceive an object as

116
Q

what is atmospheric perspective?

A

objects further away are less sharp & have a blue tint

117
Q

what is texture gradient?

A

denser textures indicate further away objects

118
Q

what are shadows?

A

location of the shadow impacts how far away an object looks

119
Q

what is motion parallax?

A

when in a moving object, nearby object glide away quickly, & far objects glide slowly.
the image of the far object travels a short distance on the retina, whereas near objects travel a short distance

120
Q

what is deletion & accretion?

A

an object being covered & uncovered is further away (occlusion in motion)

121
Q

what are binocular cues?

A

stimulus-related depth cues

depend on info from both eyes

122
Q

what is retinal disparity?

A

binocular cue
retinal image on left & right eye are slightly shifted. image falls into fovea in both eyes when fixated
all objects with the same distance as the fixation point fall on corresponding retinal points on the horopter
if an object isn’t on the horopter, there’s a difference between the object’s corresponding & actual retinal point (retinal disparity)

123
Q

what is the horopter?

A

an imaginary plane through the fixation point connecting all objects of which retinal images fall on corresponding points (all objects that have equal distance from the observer than the fixated object)

124
Q

what is stereopsis?

A

the ability to use retinal disparity as a cue to perceive depth
each distance from fixation creates a different amount of retinal disparity
the larger the disparity, the further the object is from fixation

125
Q

what is evidence disparity’s enough to create depth perception?

A

Julesz, 1971- random dot stereogram with 1 dot shifted. this can be perceived as 3D using a stereoscope (no pictorial cues)

126
Q

what is size perception?

A

the size of retinal object representations are measured in degrees of the visual angle (depends on physical object size & physical distance from observer)

127
Q

what is size consistency?

A

perception of an object’s size is relatively consistent even when viewed from different distances (creates different visual angles
this is because of the size-distance scaling equation

128
Q

what is the size distance scaling equation?

A

S = K(R x D)
s=perceived size
r=size of retinal image
d=perceived distance

129
Q

when do visual illusions occur?

A

there’s a lack of pictorial depth cues

130
Q

what are the types of motion?

A

real (produces retinal motion) & illusory (apparent motion perceived in a static stimulus)

131
Q

what are 3 examples of illusory motion?

A

induced motion
motion aftereffects
visual illusions

132
Q

what is induced motion?

A

a moving frame of reference creates the illusion that a stationary object is moving in the opposite direction

133
Q

what is motion aftereffects?

A

after adapting to motion in 1 direction, stationary objects seem to move in the opposite direction

134
Q

who studied middle temporal neuron’s firing rate, which depended on motion direction?

A

Newsome et al., 1995- monkeys watched moving dot display with random -> moving in the same direction
at 12.8% coherence, monkeys judged motion direction accurately almost all the time

135
Q

what is the aperture problem?

A

the direction of a moving stimulus through an aperture (e.g. receptive field) is ambiguous

136
Q

solutions to the aperture problem

A

pooling the responses of multiple neurons

end-stopped cells signalling the end of a stimulus to define stimulus direction

137
Q

role of STS region

A

cross-talk between dorsal & ventral stream

combines input about object form & motion direction to create biological motion

138
Q

what is biological motion?

A

self-produced motion of a biological being (produces retinal motion.
we are experts at perceiving & recognising biological motion

139
Q

what is retinal motion?

A

a successive receptor stimulation

motion perception depends on retinal motion & eye movements

140
Q

what are the eye muscles?

A

4 at top, bottom, left, & right of each eye, & 2 wrapped around it

141
Q

what is the corollary discharge theory?

A

3 relevant signals (image displacement signal, motor signal, & corollary discharge signal)
these signals are compared to see if real motion’s occurred

142
Q

what is the image displacement signal?

A

image moves across retina & successively stimulates receptors (retinal motion). the network that processes this is the comparator

143
Q

what is the motor signal?

A

a motion command is sent from the brain to eye muscles

144
Q

what is the corollary discharge signal?

A

copy of the motor signal is sent to the comparator

145
Q

Corollary discharge theory- when there’s a static stimulus in a moving eye…

A

there’s 1 of each signal (no real motion)

146
Q

Corollary discharge theory- when viewing a moving stimulus…

A

there’s an IDS signal, but no others

147
Q

Corollary discharge theory- when your eye is following a moving stimulus…

A

there’s a CDS & MS signal

148
Q

neuronal evidence for the Corollary discharge theory

A

Galletti & Fattori (2003)- real-motion neurons respond to moving stimuli (not static) in moving eye
explains why a moving stimulus generates motion perception & why a moving eye doesn’t

149
Q

approach to object recognition- template-matching

A

object representations = templates. visual input’s transformed till it matches a template (e.g. rotation)
(problem- requires lots of templates)

150
Q

what is object recognition?

A

when visual input matches an internal object representation

151
Q

approach to object recognition- feature analysis

A

object representations = list of features

problem- spatial arrangement isn’t taken into account

152
Q

approach to object recognition- structural analysis

A

objects can differ in 2D appearance but become equivalent in 3D space (visual input must be analysed at different levels)

153
Q

approach to object recognition- structural analysis levels

A 
Marr (1982)- visual object analysis goes through 4 levels of representations:
raw primal sketch 
full primal sketch
2 1/2D sketch
3D model
154
Q

Structural analysis- raw primal sketch

A

processing intensity (brightness) changes across retina

155
Q

Structural analysis- full primal sketch

A

geometric organisation of intensity changes (defines edges/contours)

156
Q

Structural analysis- 2 1/2D sketch

A

processing spatial locations of visible surfaces. includes depth, but only represents object from observer’s viewpoint (not generalisable)

157
Q

Structural analysis- 3D model

A

viewpoint-independent representation

can match with stored object representation

158
Q

model of object recognition

A 
Ellis & Young (1988)
initial representation 
-> viewer-centred representation
-> object-centred representation or object recogniton units
 -> semantic system
 -> name retrieval
159
Q

Case studies supporting model of object recognition

A 
Mr S (Benson & Greenberg, 1969)- could maintain fixation, desc colours, etc. but couldn't perceive shape/form or name objects (all stages that depend on viewer-centred representations impaired
AB (Warrington, 1975)- couldn't name common objects (model cut off at object recognition units)
160
Q

model of object recognition in patients with right posterior lesions

A

Warrington, 1982- couldn’t match objects from unusual views (object-centred representation cut off)

161
Q

model of object recognition & apperceptive agnosia

A

impaired perceptual stages - can’t match/copy simple shapes

162
Q

model of object recognition & associative agnosia

A

impaired semantic stages - intact percept has no meaning

163
Q

what is perceptual categorisation deficit?

A

can’t create object-centred representations
