Sensation/Perception
AP PSYCH 42S (15) ~ Daniel B. & Hao-Yi S.Slide2
Guess which term the picture correlates to.Slide3
Prev
: Gesalt
Where one perceives an entire image before recognizing individual partsSlide4
Prev
: figure ground
A part of Gestalt psychology, it is the ability to differentiate between a figure and the backgroundSlide5
Prev
: Grouping-connected
Where objects with similar elements are grouped together when perceived, particularly when they are aligned spatially Slide6
Prev
: Grouping-continuity
When objects are perceptually grouped together if they form a pattern is both simple and orderly, and easy to distinguishSlide7
Prev
: Grouping-Similarity
Where a group of objects that are similar in characteristic are perceptually grouped together, such as a row of identical shapesSlide8
Prev
: Grouping-Proximity
Where objects that have symmetrical properties are often perceived as gathering around a center point Slide9
Prev
: Grouping-Closure
The tendency to perceive things such as numbers, shapes, lines, as a whole even though they are not completeSlide10
Prev
: Visual Cliff
A experiment designed by psychologists Eleanor J. Gibson and R.D. Walk at Cornell University in order to investigate depth perception abilities of humans and other animal species Slide11
Prev
: Retinal Disparity
The impression and difference in depth perception when viewed by a person with regular binocular vision (both eyes)Slide12
Prev
: Monocular Cues
Cues that provide depth perception information when only one eye is being used. Slide13
Prev
: Relative Height
A perceptual cue where things such as horizon or other objects are used to gauge the relative height of the object being focused onSlide14
Prev
: Relative size
The use of other objects in near vicinity to gauge the relative size of the object in focus.Slide15
Prev
: Interposition
A visual signal where an object that is in the foreground is perceived as closer when it overlaps with an object in the backgroundSlide16
Prev
: Linear Perspective
When an object appears visually smaller when the visual angle decreasesSlide17
Prev
: Light and Shadow
The use of shades of light and shadow as indicators of depthSlide18
Prev
: Relative Motion
The perception of motion relative to the observers position and focus

Prev
: Phi Phenomenon
The apparent motion of an object due to blinking lights. As the lights blink, the mind fills in the blanks, creating the perceptual illusion of movement Slide20
Prev
: Shape/Size Constancy
Our ability to recognize that the shape of an object doesn’t actually physically change, even if we perceive it visually as so.Slide21
Prev
: Lightness Constancy
The tendency for a visual object to be perceived as having the same brightness under widely different conditions of illuminationSlide22
Prev
: Colour
ConstancyThe subjective human perception of different shades of colours. In the example above, the 50 shades of grey are all the same
colour
Slide23
Prev:
St.Louis
Gateway to the west arch illusion
In the St. Louis arch illusion, the arch appears taller then it is wide, this is due to visual subjective size constancy (i.e. the objects like clouds are closer above but further away below but the arch is the same distance to you in the picture. Therefore the higher clouds look like the arch is smaller up there and therefore further)Slide24Slide25
The
ponzo
illusion is created by having visual cues that make something look further then it really is therefore in a 2-D image the bars look smaller close up even thought they are the same size.
Prev
: Ponzo illusionSlide26Slide27
Prev: Ames illusion
The Ames illusion is created by giving the viewer only a single viewing angle. While inside two individuals of similar height stand apart on in a room where the floor, ceiling and the walls are angled allowing the room to look normal while letting one individual to stand closer to the viewing hole. Therefore he looks closer.Slide28Slide29
Prev
: Human Factor Psychology
Human factor psychologists design things to be more ergonomic and work with designers to ensure that products are safe and easy to use.Slide30Slide31
Prev
: Moon Illusion
Like the ponzo illusion the moon doesn’t change size however it will appear bigger on the horizon because it will appear further relative to how it appears if it was straight up in the sky. As a result it appears bigger due to the proximity to visible things in the distance, and the lack of relative visual cues in the sky above.Slide32Slide33
Prev
: Sensory Deprivation
When a persons senses are restricted or taken away via use of physical paraphernalia or other means, such as depriving a person of sight through use of blindfold. Slide34Slide35
Prev
: Restored Vision
After cataract surgery
blind
adults
were
able
to
regain
sight. These
individuals
could
differentiate
figure
and
ground
relationship
however
had
difficulty
discriminating
a
circle
and
a
triangle
(Von
Senden
, 1932)Slide36
Perceptual Adaptation
Wearing a special lens we will eventual adapt to this new visual world however the world is still appears as it is adapted so therefore our motor abilities adapt and so does our brains controlSlide37
Perceptual set: Context effects
The premise is that our preset schemas affect what we see and hear. We may see things differently if we are in a different context, or environment.Slide38
Perceptual set: Emotion and motivation
Our perceiving ability is affected by our emotions (if in a slump a baseball may see the ball as a smaller target then it really is).
