Lecture 5B- Vision
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Bottom-up | sensory inputs to perception |
| Top down | cognitive factors influence perception (prefrontal cortex) |
| Constancies | unconscious process that preserves perception |
| Color constancy | objects appear to remain the same color in different lighting |
| Size constancy | when the retinal image changes, people unconsciously assume that size remains constant, and consider the distance an object is from them |
| Similarity | features which are similar are grouped together as part of the same object |
| Proximity | features which are closer together are part of the same object |
| Good continuation | shapes that are continuous are more likely to be part of the same object |
| Closure | gaps in the image |
| Binocular disparity | differences in the image of an object provide info at depth |
| Interposition | when one object obscures another, which causes the object that is partially covered to appear more distant |
| Linear perspective | parallel lines that recede into the distance appear to get closer or converge |
| Texture gradients | gradual change in appearance of objects from coarse to fine, with coarser objects appearing closer than fine |
| Motion parallax | when we are moving, objects that are closer appear to be moving faster |
| Optic flow | directional movement of objects create an appearance of a change in depth/motion |
| simple orientation tuning cells | preferential firing for not just orientation but location |
| complex orientation tuning cells | preferential firing for orientation but not location |
| V1 (primary visual cortex) | simple center surround |
| V2/V3 (secondary/tertiary visual cortex) | orientation tuning/complex tuning |
| V4 | color processing |
| inferior temporal cortex | object processing |
| Mediotemporal/ V5 | motion |
| serial processing | unidirectional, brain activity moves from point to point |
| parallel processing | brain activity occurring at the same time |
