Perception

Combining info gather from your five senses, with past experiences will lead to one's

• constancy.

• perception.

• motion parallax.

• ratio.

Since the image of a person approaching grows larger in our eyes, why do we not perceive that person turning into a giant?

• We perceive that distance is decreasing.

• Brightness constancy reveals the true size of the person

• We unconsciously move our head to apply the motion parallax cue.

• Our eyes recognize that images of giants are illusions.

Figure–ground relationships concern _________________.

• the tendency to perceive objects, or figures, as existing on some background

• the tendency to complete figures that are incomplete

• the tendency to perceive objects that are close to each other as part of the same grouping

• the tendency to perceive things with a continuous pattern rather than with a complex, broken-up pattern

Similarity is the tendency to perceive _________________.

• objects, or figures, as existing on some background

• things that look similar as being part of the same group

• objects that are close to each other as part of the same grouping

• things with a continuous pattern rather than with a complex, broken-up pattern

What is the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information?

• perception

• sensation

• bottom-up processing

• sensory adaptation

Figures tend to be perceived as whole, complete objects, even if spaces or gaps exist in the representation, thus demonstrating the principle of:

• Closure
• Proximity
• Continuity
• Similarity

Which Gestalt Principle does this image BEST illustrate?

• Figure Ground Perception

• Closure

• Similarity

• Proximity

Which image does NOT show the idea of similarity?

• 
• 
• 
• 

Why is it that we can see the panda in the logo and not a bunch of black shapes?

• We perceive the proximity of the shapes as a group.

• We use the principle of closure fill the gaps between the black shapes to create a panda.

• We simplify the scene into figures and background.

• We see it because of the Figure/Ground principle.

Depth cues that only require one require one eye are

• Binocular Cue
• Trichronocular Cue
• Monocular Cue
• Single Vision Transparency
