Perceptions

Front 1

Dorsal Pathway

Back 1

Important in processing info about where items are located and how they might be acted on..guiding actions such as grasping

Front 2

Ventral Pathway

Back 2

Temporal lobes.
Processes info that leads to recognition and identification of objects.

Front 3

Visual Field

Back 3

Portion of the wolrd that is visible at the present moment

Front 4

FOVEA

Back 4

A part of the retina that can collect detailed information.

Front 5

Bottom-Up Processing

Back 5

Taking info from the world and building upon it.

Front 6

Top-Down Processing

Back 6

Taking info that we already have and using it to interpret what you experience. driven by goals

Front 7

Perception

Back 7

Taking in information about the world and making sense of it.

Front 8

Cones

Back 8

pick up colour
3 types of cones:
1. blusih light
2. greenish light
3. yellowish-green light (perception to red)

Front 9

Grouping Principles

Back 9

Guide the visual system and produce our perception of what goes with what

Front 10

Proximity

Back 10

Things that are closer together are more likely to be grouped together

Front 11

Uniform Connectedness

Back 11

Linked or vertical organisation---colums. overrides proximity.

Front 12

Similarity

Back 12

Things are grouped together based on how similar they are (such as colour, shape, etc.)

Front 13

Closure or Line Termination

Back 13

Group things together in columns

Front 14

The Binding Problem

Back 14

How do we associate different features (colour, shape, orientation, etc.) so that we perceive one object?
-one system analyses colour, another movement, etc.

Front 15

Spatial Location

Back 15

Can serve as the glue to the bingind problem. if shape, colour, motion all occupy the same space, then it seems reasonable that they would be bound together

Front 16

Recognition

Back 16

The process of matching representations of organised sensory input to stored representations in memory.

Front 17

AGNOSIA

Back 17

People who have no sensory defecit (can hear, see, taste, etc.) but cannot readily recognise objects around them.

Front 18

Models of Recognition: VIEWPOINT DEPENDENCE

Back 18

objects look different from different angles

Front 19

Models of Recognition: EXEMPLAR VARIATION

Back 19

There are many different instances of a category (number of different shaped/size chairs)

Front 20

Template Matching Model

Back 20

Match the whole image to a stored representaion of the whole object. (A template is a pattern that can be used to compare indiv. items to a standard)

Front 21

Feature Matching Model

Back 21

Extract important or discriminating features from the image and match these with known features of objects.

Front 22

RBC (Recognition-By-Components) Model

Back 22

Represents the 3-D structure of objects by specifying their parts and the spatial relation among the parts.

Front 23

The 1st stage of visual analysis?

Back 23

Detect edges and colours

Front 24

Geons

Back 24

Part of the RBC model. There are 24 (ex: cones, cylinders, etc.). they are 3-D geometrical shapes that can be used to represent any object. They are viewpoint independent.

Front 25

Propagnosia

Back 25

The inability to recognise different faces.

Front 26

Interpreting Information: CONTEXT

Back 26

Information is interpreted relative to the context

Front 27

Word Superiority

Back 27

The context of surrounding letters can manipulate the perception of a target letter.

Front 28

Brightness Constancy

Back 28

Our ability to see objects as continuing to have the same brightness even though light may change their immediate properties.

Front 29

Size Constancy

Back 29

Our perceptions of the size of objects are relatively constant

Front 30

Edge Detection

Back 30

The process of identifying and locating sharp discontinuites in an image
