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 |
