Visual System Face When Perceiving-Depth

Questions 1. What problem does the visual system face when perceiving depth? Hint: think about proximal and distal stimuli. (5 pt.)
When our visual system perceives depth it uses distal stimulus and proximal stimulus. This is problematic because the distal stimulus and/ or environmental stimuli are three dimensional but the proximal stimuli hitting your retina are two-dimensional Therefore, in order to perceive depth your brain needs to interpret the two-dimensional stimuli as three dimensional. All things considered, this is a brief description of the problem our visual system faces when perceiving depth, but nonetheless, demonstrates how proximal and distal stimuli are essentially behind this problem.
2. Use place theory to explain how the inner ear acts as a frequency analyzer. (6 pt.) …show more content…
Thus, is not the action stimulus but it is the inner ear that is basically associated with how we distinguish between different pitches and frequencies. In particular, people can hear different sounds because each varying spot in the basilar membrane is associated with a specific frequency. Therefore, when specific vibrations hit the inner ear, we then analyze the frequency and in return, relay a particular pitch to our individual perception. All things considered, this is a brief description but nonetheless, demonstrates how the place theory lays out that the inner ear takes in vibrations and then analyzes each frequency; which then transmits a particular pitch and/or sound in your
