• reception; transduction; transmission; selection; organisation; interpretation

What is transduction?

• The process of visual sensation in which the light energy detected by the photoreceptors is converted into neural impulses.
• The process of visual perception in which the neural impulses are transferred from photoreceptors in the retina to the occipital lobe in the brain.
• The process of visual sensation in which light energy reaches the eye. It enters the cornea, passes through the pupil and is then focused by the lens onto the retina, where it is detected by the photoreceptors in the retina.
• The process of visual perception that involves paying attention to stimuli in the visual field that are important to us. The process then involves breaking down these stimuli into specific features based on lines, size, length and orientation.

Define the Gestalt principle of camouflage.

• an army uniform
• where the figure is distinct from the ground
• an animal classification for those whose appearances match their environment
• where the contour of the figure is broken so that it blends in with the ground, obscuring the figure

What optical illusion can be explained by "perceptual compromise"?

• the Ponzo illusion
• ambiguous figures
• the Müller-Lyer illusion
• the Ames room illusion

The process of visual perception in which the visual stimulus is given meaning, through the formation of a perceptual set and the assistance of other brain areas such as the temporal and parietal lobes.

• selection
• transmission
• organisation
• interpretation

________ involves degeneration of the optic nerve, affecting peripheral vision.

• Cataract
• Glaucoma
• Retinis pigmentosa
• Macular degeneration

Culture has been shown to influence our visual system in which of the following ways?

• Prior learning is not essential to recognise pictures.
• People from all cultures interpret depth cues in similar ways.
• Formal education has no impact on our visual system but societal and cultural norms do.
• Formal education, cultural norms and expectations, and our visual systems influence depth cues.

Which of the following statements about visual illusions is correct?

• They occur when the sense organs misinterpret stimuli.
• They occur when perception is consistent with visual reality.
• They are caused by both psychological and biological factors.
• They occur when perception consistently differs from objective reality.
