Visual Perception Poster Sac

Question 0

Figure?

Answer 0

Part of the visual field that has meaning, stands out and can clearly be differentiated from the less relevant background.

Question 1

Gestalt Principles?

Answer 1

A group of perceptual principles that organise visual perceptual features and that integrate them into connected patterns and whole forms.

Question 2

Ground ?

Answer 2

That which does not constitute figure in a visual scene; the non-relevant information

Question 3

Closure ?

Answer 3

Filling in the missing parts to complete and incomplete figure

Question 4

Binocular cues ?

Answer 4

Depth cues based on the combination of images on both eyes

Question 5

Retinal Disparity?

Answer 5

Because our eyes are about 60 mm apart, our retinas receive slightly different images of external objects; this difference is retinal disparity

Question 6

Convergence ?

Answer 6

Difference in direction of the eyes as they turn towards one another to focus on objects that are close

Question 7

Monocular cues?

Answer 7

Depth cues that can be extracted from the image in only one eye

Question 8

Similarity?

Answer 8

Grouping together similar items

Question 9

Proximity?

Answer 9

Grouping objects that are close to each other

Question 10

Depth perception?

Answer 10

Ability to see objects in three dimensions by estimating how distant they are from our viewing point

Question 11

Depth cues?

Answer 11

Information used to perceive depth in our visual environment

Question 12

Pictorial cues?

Answer 12

Static monocular cues that are used to represent depth on a 2D surface, such as pictures and photgraphs

Question 13

Cornea?

Answer 13

Front covering of the eye that covers the iris and pupil

Question 14

Ciliary muscles?

Answer 14

Muscles in the eye that control the shape of the lens by making it thinner or thicker

Question 15

Lens?

Answer 15

Transparent flexible structure in the eye that focuses on light on the retina by changing shape

Question 16

Accommodation?

Answer 16

Mechanism by which the shape of the lens is changed in order to bring the image of an object into sharp focus

Question 17

Visual Constancy?

Answer 17

Stability of perception despite variation in physical stimulation

Question 18

Visual size constancy?

Answer 18

Tendency to perceive an object as having the same size even though, when the object is viewed from different distances, its retinal image changes

Question 19

Visual Shape Constancy ?

Answer 19

Tendency to perceive the shape of objects as stable, despite the fact that the same object may produce a nee and different form of stimulation on the retina every time we look at it

Question 20

Visual Brightness Constancy ?

Answer 20

Tendency to perceive an object as having constant brightness, despite changes in the amount of light reflected from the object

Question 21

Visual Orientation Constancy ?

Answer 21

Tendency to perceive an object as having a stable orientation even when it is rotated

Question 22

Interposition?

Answer 22

A pictorial depth cur that occurs when one object partially blocks another object and is perceived as being in front of, and therefore closer than the object it covers

Question 23

Linear Perspective?

Answer 23

A pictorial depth cue where apparent convergence of parallel lines created the illusion of increasing distance
