  1. Myers EXPLORING PSYCHOLOGY (6th Edition in Modules) Module 13 Perceptual Organization James A. McCubbin, PhD Clemson University Worth Publishers

  2. Perceptual Organization: Gestalt • Gestalt • an organized whole • tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes

  3. Perceptual Organization • Figure and Ground--organization of the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground)

  4. Perceptual Organization: Gestalt • Grouping • the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups • Grouping Principles • proximity--group nearby figures together • similarity--group figures that are similar • continuity--perceive continuous patterns • closure--fill in gaps • connectedness--spots, lines, and areas are seen as unit when connected

  5. Perceptual Organization: Grouping Principles

  6. Perceptual Organization: Closure • Gestalt grouping principles are at work here.

  7. Perceptual Organization: Grouping Principles • Gestalt grouping principles are at work here

  8. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception • Depth Perception • ability to see objects in three dimensions • allows us to judge distance • Binocular cues • retinal disparity • images from the two eyes differ • closer the object, the larger the disparity • convergence • neuromuscular cue • two eyes move inward for near objects

  9. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception Visual Cliff

  10. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception • Monocular Cues • relative size • smaller image is more distant • interposition • closer object blocks distant object • relative clarity • hazy object seen as more distant • texture coarse --> close fine --> distant

  11. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception • Monocular Cues (cont.) • relative height • higher objects seen as more distant • relative motion • closer objects seem to move faster • linear perspective • parallel lines converge with distance • relative brightness • closer objects appear brighter

  12. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception Interposition

  13. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception Relative Height

  14. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception Light and Shadow

  15. Perceptual Organization: Depth Perception Perspective Techniques

  16. Perceptual Constancy • Perceptual Constancy • perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal image change • color • shape • size

  17. Perceptual Organization

  18. Perceptual Illusions

  19. Perceptual Organization: Size-Distance Relationship

  20. Perceptual Organization: Brightness Contrast

  21. Perceptual Organization: Grouping Principles • Impossible doghouse
