U2 AoS2 DP 3a Visual Perception

Which of the following is not a biological factor that influences our visual perception?

• Depth cues

• Memory

• Visual system

• Monocular cues

Pamy is getting bored in psych class, so decides to look at the board while covering one of her eyes interchangeably. She notices that each eye sees a slightly different image, but when both eyes are open, the image seems to fuse together. What best explains this?

• Convergence: each retina receives a slightly different image, and the brain fuses the two together

• Convergence: the eyes are parallel, so each eye sees a slightly different image. If she were to go closer to the board, each eye would see the same thing

• Retinal disparity: each retina receives a slightly different image, and the brain fuses the two together

• Retinal disparity: the eyes are parallel, so each eye sees a slightly different image. If she were to go closer to the board, each eye would see the same thing

Which cue explains how we are perceiving depth and distance in this image?

• Linear perspective

• Height in the visual field

• Relative size

• Accommodation

If someone is unable to focus on objects close to them (within 3m), which cue might be impacted in understanding depth perception?

• Monocular cues

• Convergence

• Pictorial cues

• Accommodation

Leonhard found a picture of the pyramids he drew when he was 3. What type of pictorial cue demonstrates his understanding of depth perception?

• Relative size

• Height in visual field

• Linear perspective

• Interposition

Which of the following is not a psychological factor that influences visual perception?

• Motivation

• Visual cortex

• Context

• Past experience

Which best describes the Gestalt principles?

• Organising separate stimuli to create meaningful pattern, or a whole form

• Principles that involve: figure-ground, closure, similarity, and proximity

• Managing visual changes in the stimuli we are exposed to

• Using information that surrounds stimulus to influence our perception of it

Hungry Mia is walking down a street. As she passed by shops, she notices food-related signs or restaurants more quickly than other types of businesses. What psychological factor best explains this heightened visual perception and awareness on food?

• Selective attention

• Context

• Motivation

• Memory

Matthew looks at a door as it swings open, the shape projected onto his retina changes from a rectangle to a trapezoid. However, he knows the door is maintaining its rectangular shape. Which visual constancy explains this awareness?

• Size constancy

• Brightness constancy

• Orientation constancy

• Shape constancy

Which principle best explains why we are able to make out the object in this image?

• Closure: we complete an incomplete image by filling in an imaginary contour line

• Figure ground: we use an imaginary contour line to separate features of the image so a part of it stands out as an object

• Similarity: we perceive stimuli that has similar visual features as belonging together based on previous experiences

• Proximity: we see stimuli close together as belonging together to create a meaningful image
