1. Perception Selective Attention
Focus of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus
2. Perception Selective Attention
Perceptual Illusions
Bottom-Up Processing
Top-Down Processing
3. Perceptual Illusions
4. Perceptual Organization- Gestalt Visual Capture
Tendency for vision to dominate the other senses.
Grouping
The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.
5. Perception of Form Gestalt- an organized whole
tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes
Gestalt rules of grouping
Proximity: group nearby figures together
Similarity: group figures that are similar
Closure: fill in gaps
Continuity: perceive continuous patterns
Connectedness: spots, lines and areas are seen as unit when connected
6. Perceptual Organization- Grouping Principles
7. Perceptual Organization Figure and Ground: organization of the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground)
8. Depth Perception Depth Perception
ability to see objects in three dimensions
allows us to judge distance
Binocular cues
retinal disparity
convergence
9. 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
10. Perceptual Organization-Depth Perception
11. Perceptual Organization-Depth Perception
12. 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
13. Perceptual Organization-Depth Perception
14. Perceptual Organization
15. Motion Perception Real motion
Apparent motion
stroboscopic motion
phi phenomenon
16. Perceptual Constancy Perceptual Constancy
perceiving objects as unchanging despite changes in retinal image
color
shape
size
17. Sensory Restriction-Blakemore & Cooper, 1970 Kittens raised without exposure to horizontal lines later had difficulty perceiving horizontal bars.
18. Perceptual Interpretation Perceptual Adaptation
(vision) ability to adjust to an artificially displaced visual field
prism glasses
Perceptual Set
a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another
19. Perceptual Set- Schemas What you see in the center is influenced by perceptual set
