3 types of illusions that affect our perceptions
Literal Optical Illusions
: create images that do not represent a physical measurement of the stimulus source.
Physiological Illusions
: create effects on the eyes & brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, color, size, position, tilt, movement).
Cognitive Illusions
: created from unconscious inferences. Slide4
Perception is the process to select, organize, interpret, and respond to information from the world around them.
It is the selection and organization of environmental stimuli to provide meaningful experiences for the perceiver.

Perception
What you know affects what you see. Slide6
Stages of Life
The longer an individual lives in an area, the more attached they become to the places and
region. A
place becomes more familiar the more it is experienced (e.g., being in a place at different periods in our lives, learning about and visiting new
places). Stages of lifeSlide7
In the Hermann grid illusion the gray spots appear at the intersection because of the inhibitory response which occurs as a result of the increased dark surroundSlide8
Gender
An individuals gender can affect their perception of Place & Region through the experiences of their cultural environments. Whether or not a woman is allowed to vote may affect her perception of a region. Men and women would feel differently about the construction of a sports stadium in town. Slide9Slide10
The Spinning Dancer
is a kinetic,
bistable
optical illusion resembling a pirouetting female dancer. Some observers initially see the figure as spinning clockwise and some counterclockwise. Additionally, some may see the figure suddenly spin in the opposite direction. The illusion derives from an inherent ambiguity from the lack of visual cues for depth.Slide11
Social Class
Wealth and affluence affect how an individual views and is viewed by lower classes. Social Class can determine the significance of other influences on perception of Place & Region. Slide12
Values
Values are a
person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life.
