  1. Perception Is… • The process of recognizing, organizing, and interpreting sensory information

  2. Two Theories • Bottom-up theories • -Parts are identified, put together, and then recognition occurs • Top-down theories • -People actively construct perceptions using information based on expectations

  3. Constancy • Our ability to recognize that size, shape and brightness (color) don’t change even when sensory input of an object changes. • Size constancy • Shape constancy • Brightness constancy

  4. Sensory adaptation -Occurs when sensory receptors change their sensitivity to the stimulus -Constant stimulation leads to lower sensitivity -The brain is constantly processing and adjusting it’s perception of sensory input

  5. Sensory Adaptation can lead to After Images

  6. After Images in Color

  8. Gestalt Organizational Principles Module 07: Perception

  9. Gestalt • The “whole,” or the organizational patterns that we tend to perceive; • the Gestalt psychologists emphasized that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. • By breaking experiences into their basic parts, something important is lost.

  10. Draw what you Just saw • Now compare your drawing with the original. • In what ways is it similar, what details did you miss?

  11. Law of Praganz • Reality is organized and reduced to the simplest form possible.

  12. Gestalt Organizational Principles: Figure-Ground Relationships Module 07: Perception

  13. Figure-Ground • The organization of the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground). • The figure is the object(s) that stands out or draws one’s attention. • The ground is the background.

  15. Gestalt Organizational Principles: Grouping Principles Module 07: Perception

  16. Grouping • The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into understandable units. • Several principles of grouping include: • Similarity • Proximity • Closure • Continuity

  17. Grouping - Similarity • The tendency to place items that look similar into a group

  18. Grouping - Proximity • The tendency to place objects that are physically close to each other in a group

  19. Grouping – Closure • The tendency to look at the whole by filling in gaps in a perceptual field http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hodp2esSV9E

  20. Grouping – Continuity • The tendency to perceive that movement of an object continues once it appears to move in a particular direction

  21. Grouping- Common fate • Objects that move or function in a similar manner will be seen as a unit.

  22. What Principles Do we See

  23. Depth Cues

  24. Depth Cues • Eleanor Gibson and her Visual Cliff Experiment. • If you are old enough to crawl, you are old enough to see depth perception. • We see depth by using two cues that researchers have put in two categories: • Monocular Cues • Binocular Cues

  25. Binocular Cues • We need both of our eyes to use these cues. • Retinal Disparity (as an object comes closer to us, the differences in images between our eyes becomes greater. • Convergence (as an object comes closer our eyes have to come together to keep focused on the object).

  26. Monocular Cues • You really only need one eye to use these (used in art classes to show depth). • Linear Perspective • Interposition • Relative size • Texture gradient • Shadowing • Relative Height

  27. Illusions and Perceptual Set

  28. Ponzo Illusion • Tricks our sense of size constancy

  29. Mueller Lyon Illusion • Tricks our sense of linear perspective

  30. Lets test ourselves • http://bcs.worthpublishers.com/gray/content/psychsim5/Visual%20Illusions/PsychSim_Shell.html

  31. What Depth Cues did the vertical/Horizontal lines trick?

  32. Illusions of Motion • Autokinetic effects

  33. Phi Phenomenon : apparent movement between flashing stationary images • http://www.yorku.ca/eye/balls.htm

  34. Stroboscopic: When images are flashed in sequence to create the illusion of continuous movement • “cell animation” • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeWIhWiT6bE

  35. Emotions and Motivation • Influence our attention and perception

  36. Perceptual Set • Experience builds expectations which direct perceptions

  37. 2 minutes study and look for a pattern
