NEU 220 Vision 3

Object Perception

QuestionAnswer
Pragnanz Perceive larger whole, not smaller pieces
Similarity Similar objects are grouped together in perception.
Parallelism and Symmetry Group together/match parallel objects.
Good continuation Perceive object/pattern as one weaving unit, not several disconnected pieces.
Proximity Objects grouped together by nearness to each other
Common fate Objects that align or correspond are grouped together.
Meaningfulness Familiar shapes are grouped together to create meaning.
Common unit Objects grouped into singular unit based on organization
Uniform connectedness Overrides proximity by way of connecting piece.
Synchrony Events occuring together are grouped together.
Accidental viewpoint Perceptual viewpoint
Heuristic Methodical approach using all possibilities to guide perception. (Looking under furniture for cat)
Gestalt research findings on the V1 Cortex V1 neurons can change firing rate based on information outside of receptive field
Perceptual segregation Separating connected/related objects for separate recognition. (e.g., figure/ground)
5 Means of Differentiation Between Figure/Ground Symmetry, Smaller area, Vertical/horizontal orientation, Meaningfulness, Occlusion
Figure/Ground: Smaller area Smaller piece is figure/object; larger piece is ground/background.
Figure/Ground: Vertical/horizontal Orientation Favoring vertical & horizontal lines over others
Figure/Ground: Meaningfulness Choose perception with meaning/relevance to real world. (e.g., waves NOT upside-down swirls, hole NOT thing)
Figure/Ground: Occlusion In front of/obstruction
2 Gestalt Theories on Object Recognition in context of varying angles Structural description, Image description
Gestalt: Structural description Object broken down into view invariant geons; allows for rapid recognition.
View invariant Recognizable from any angle
Gestalt: Image description Comparing visual data to prior knowledge/experience for matching and identification; NOT view invariant
Region of interest Site of activity in brain that is attending to a stimulus.
Neurons in IT cortex Active during perception, not sensation
4 Types of Visual Attention Stimulus salience, Scene schema, Task demand, Inattentional blindness
Visual Attention: Stimulus salience "Interesting" stimuli chosen to be attended to over others; color/brightness, edges/contrast, vertical/horizontal lines, faces
Visual Attention: Scene schema Expectation for what stimuli will be present and their organization in a given setting.
Visual Attention: Task demand Attending to stimuli methodically, in the order we will use them.
Visual Attention: Inattentional blindness Attention is occupied by one stimulus, and so others are disregarded.
Visual Attention: Precuing experiments Subject instructed to focus on point and report when stimulus flashes; either an accurate or misleading cue precedes stimulus.
Visual Attention: Quality of perception based on attention Attention enhances perception: More attention = more firing, More stimulus = more firing; More attention = more stimulus.
Illusory conjunctions Features of unattended stimuli become mismatched in subject's report.
Visual search experiment Target/distractor

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
