Perception

What is sensation?

• The way our senses see things

• The information we receive through our senses

• The way we sense things

• The information we send through our senses

What is perception?

• Perception is what we perceive

• Perception is the same as sensation

• Perception is how we make sense of the info from the senses

• Perception is what we think we see

Depth cues....

• help us to figure the world out

• help us to perceive distance accurately

• help us to connect with our senses

• help us to judge distances

What are monocular depth cues?

• Cues that can be detected with two eyes

• Cues that give us an idea of depth and distance

• Cues that can be detected blindfolded

• Cues that can be detected with one eye

2 examples of binocular depth cues are:

• Height in plane, convergence

• Convergence, retinal disparity

• Relative size, linear perspective

• Size in plane, occlusion

What does Height in plane show?

• What does Height in plane show?

• Things that are higher up appear further away

• Things that are higher up are bigger

• Things that are lower down are bigger

'If two objects are similar in size, we perceive the one that is smaller to be further away' is

• Size constancy

• Size in plane

• Nothing to do with size

• Relative size

Occlusion is.....

• When an object ‘covers’ another, it will appear closer to us

• When an object disappears out of view

• When something seems to be right in front of us

• When an object 'covers' another, it will appear far away

'The more the lines of the road narrow, the further away they are', is...

• vanishing perspective

• linear convergence

• vanishing point

• linear perspective
