Visual Perception - TD / BU Processing

What is visual perception?

• The ability to see visual elements in total darkness

• The ability to make sense of the visual information

• The physical structure of the eye itself

• The ability to sense light into our eyes

Which processing method begins with sensory input?

• Top-down processing

• Bottom-up processing

• Both A and B

• None of the above

Bottom-up processing is also known as:

• Stimulus-driven processing

• Data-driven processing

• Concept-driven processing

• Both A and B

What does top-down processing primarily depend on?

• Sensory receptors

• Cognitive processes

• Both A and B

• None of the above

Which of the following is an example of top-down processing?

• Sensing the texture, color, and shape of an object before identifying it

• Interpreting a shadow as a potential threat based on past experiences and contextual clues

• Noticing individual lines, colors, and shapes in a painting before forming a complete image

• None of the above

What is the primary difference between sensation and perception?

• Sensation involves the interpretation of sensory input, while perception is just the detection of physical energy.

• Sensation involves detecting physical energy from the environment, while perception involves interpreting these sensory inputs.

• Sensation and perception both involve the interpretation of sensory inputs without detection.

• Sensation is unrelated to physical energy, while perception deals only with cognitive expectations.

How does bottom-up processing occur when viewing a complex image?

• It starts with the interpretation of complex features of the stimuli.

• It begins by constructing cognitive expectations before identifying features.

• It starts with detecting basic features of the stimuli, integrating them step-by-step into a complete perception.

• It ignores the basic features and focuses only on the final perception.

How can prior knowledge influence perception in top-down processing?

• Prior knowledge has no effect on how sensory information is interpreted.

• Prior knowledge, expectations, and context guide the interpretation of sensory information.

• Prior knowledge only affects memory recall, not sensory interpretation.

• Prior knowledge decreases the ability to recognize familiar objects in complex scenes.

What influences perception in top-down processing?

• Basic stimulus features

• Internal mental processes

• Isolated sensory data

• Immediate sensory input

In the context of perception, what does the term 'data-driven' relate to?

• Bottom-up processing

• Top-down processing

• Cognitive dissonance

• Sensory adaptation
