Psych Ch. 7 Section 3 (Perception Of Space And Motion)

Front 1

Convergence

Back 1

in depth perception, the result of conjugate eye movements in which the fixation point for each eye is identical; feedback from these movements provide information about the distance of visual objects from the viewer

Front 2

Retinal disparity

Back 2

The fact that objects located at different distances from the observer would fall into different location on the two retinas; provides a binocular view for dept perception

Front 3

Interposition

Back 3

A monocular cue for dept perception; an object that partially blacks another object is perceived as closer

Front 4

Sizes

Back 4

a monolocular cue for dept perception based on the retinal size of an object (really small car perceived as far away)

Front 5

Linear perspective

Back 5

A monocular cue for dept perception; the arrangement of lines drawn in the opposite dimensions such as parallel lines receding from the viewer as seen as to converge at a point on the horizon

Front 6

Texture

Back 6

a monocular cue for dept perception; corser is closer, finer is farther away

Front 7

Shading

Back 7

A monocular cue for dept perception; the apparent light source determines whether the surface of the object as perceived as concave or convex

Front 8

Elevation

Back 8

A monocular cue for dept perception; objects nearer to the horizon are seen as further to the viewer

Front 9

Motion parallax

Back 9

A monocular cue for dept perception; as we pass by a sense, objects closer to us appear to move farther than those more distant

Front 10

Brightness constancy

Back 10

Our tendency to perceive objects having a constant brightness even when we observe them under varying levels of illumination

Front 11

Size constancy

Back 11

our tendency to perceive objects as having a constant size, even when they are rotated or their distance from us changes

Front 12

Shape constancy

Back 12

Our tendency to receive objects as having a shape regardless of their rotation or their difference for us.

Front 13

Ventriloquism effect

Back 13

The apparent shift in location of sound from its authority source to its perceived visual location

Front 14

Binding problem

Back 14

the question of how the brain assembles or combinds multiple units of input into a unified perception (combines visual and auditory stimulus)

Front 15

Phi phenomenon

Back 15

the perception of a movement caused by the turning on and off of two or more lights, one at a time, in sequence, often used in theater marquees; responsible for the apparent movement of images in movies or televisions
