Which of the following statements about size constancy is correct?
a)
Size constancy refers to how our eyes actually take in more visual stimuli than we pay attention to.
b)
Size constancy refers to how one object compares in size to another.
c)
Size constancy refers to the fact that our pupils grow bigger or smaller as an object moves nearer to or further from us.
d)
Size constancy means that even though an object moves nearer to or further from us, our perception of its size remains constant.
2.
In relation to the Gestalt principles, camouflage is:
a)
an army uniform
b)
where the figure is distinct from the ground
c)
an animal classification for those whose appearances match their environment
d)
where the contour of the figure is broken so that it blends in with the ground, obscuring the figure
3.
Which of the following correctly pairs the names of two sets of visual perceptual principles with examples from those sets?
a)
Gestalt principles – figure–ground organisation; depth cues – texture gradient
b)
estalt principles – linear perspective; depth cues – convergence
c)
depth cues – retinal disparity; Gestalt principles – orientation constancy
d)
perceptual set – expectancies; Gestalt principles – closure
4.
As I was driving along the freeway a huge truck came hurtling up behind me. It seemed to take ages for the long body to get past as it overtook me. Afterwards, it gradually disappeared up the road in front of me.
Which of the following principles would I have applied to help me realise that the truck remained the same size, although its image on my retinas changed?
Which of the following principles would I have applied to help me realise that the truck remained the same size, although its image on my retinas changed?
a)
brightness constancy and orientation constancy
b)
shape constancy and size constancy
c)
size constancy and orientation constancy
d)
brightness constancy and size constancy
5.
How are the Gestalt principles of similarity and proximity distinguished?
a)
They are two different names for the same concept.
b)
Similarity is the part of a stimulus pattern that sits in rows, while proximity is the part that sits in columns.
c)
Similarity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are a similar distance from each other; proximity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are the same colour.
d)
Similarity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are physically similar so that we perceive them as a whole; proximity is when parts of a stimulus pattern are close together so that we perceive them as a whole.
6.
The binocular depth cues are:
a)
retinal disparity and accommodation
b)
linear perspective and convergence
c)
convergence and retinal disparity
d)
relative size and linear perspective
7.
Jack and his team were doing fielding practice, catching a ball that the coach hit high in the air. After a few people had dropped catches, the coach insisted that all players hold their hands in front of their face and watch the approaching ball through their fingers. Jack was surprised that his success rate improved using the new technique.
What is the reason for his improved performance?
What is the reason for his improved performance?
a)
Using the new method, he could use convergence and retinal disparity cues to help him judge depth and distance.
b)
Using the new method, he could use pictorial cues to help him judge depth and distance.
c)
Using the new method, he could use accommodation and convergence cues to help him judge depth and distance.
d)
Using the new method, he could use monocular cues to help him judge depth and distance.
8.
As she was driving to Perth from Melbourne, Jodi called out, ‘Look Mum, there are hundreds of rabbits!’ As they gradually got closer, Jodi said, ‘Oh! They’re actually big kangaroos!’
What caused Jodi’s initial error of perception?
What caused Jodi’s initial error of perception?
a)
the context in which the animals were seen, causing a perceptual set that led to selection of specific parts of the scene being attended to
b)
the context in which the animals were seen, causing a perceptual set that led to a particular interpretation of the scene
c)
previous experience with rabbits, causing a perceptual set that led to selection of specific parts of the scene being attended to
d)
previous experience with rabbits, causing a perceptual set that led to a particular interpretation of the scene
9.
Several senses are involved in our perception of flavour; the two senses most involved are:
a)
taste and vision
b)

c)
vision and smell
d)
taste and smell
10.
Which of the following can affect our perception of flavour?
a)
all answers are correct
b)

c)
our genetic makeup
d)

11.
PTC is an organic compound that has a bitter taste to about 75 per cent of people. The ability to taste PTC is related to a person’s genetic make-up. Research has suggested that the ability to taste PTC is dominant over inability to taste PTC.
This is supported by which of the following findings?
This is supported by which of the following findings?
a)
Fraternal twins have the same ability or inability 80 per cent of the time; identical twins share the ability 50 per cent of the time.
b)
Identical twins and fraternal twins have the same ability or inability 80 per cent of the time.
c)
identical twins and fraternal twins have the same ability 50 per cent of the time.
d)
Identical twins have the same ability or inability 80 per cent of the time, fraternal twins share the ability 50 per cent of the time.
