TermDefinition
Proximity Closer two figures are to each other more likely to group them and see them part of same object
Similarity Tend to group figures according to how closely they resemble each other, whether in shapes color or orientation
Good continuation (also, continuity) we are more likely to perceive continuous, smooth flowing lines rather than jagged, broken lines
Common fate Parts of visual move together are grouped together
Place coding Unrolled cochlea; high, medium and low frequency sound waves activate different regions of the basilar membrane
Binocular depth cues Cues of depth perception that arise from the fact that people have two eyes
Monocular depth cues Cues of depth perception that are available to each eye alone
Binocular sparity A depth cue; b/c distance between 2 eyes, each eye receives a slightly different retinal image
Convergence Cue of binocular depth perception; when person views nerby object, eye muscles turns eye inward
Occlusion Near object occuludes (blocks) an object that is farther away
Relative size Far- off objects project a smaller retinal image than close objects do, far- off and close objects are the same physical size
Familiar size B/c we know how large familiar objects are, we can tell how far away they are by size of retinal images
Linear perspective Seemingly parallel lines appear to converge in the distance
Texture gradient Uniformity textured surface recedes, texture continuously becomes denser
Figure and ground Visual scenes divided whatever you don't see figures
Size retency Size we receive is constant even if retinal image is smaller
Picturial cues - Type of monocular depth cue - Patterns represented on a flat surface to create a sense of three dimensions
