Gestalt pattern
A Gestalt pattern is...
when your brain organizes bits and pieces into a meaningful whole
notices the differences between two stimuli
makes sense of binocular cues to make an inference
notices the weakest amount of a stimuli
A subliminal message is...
when you have a large stimulus and you need a larger one to notice the change
when your brain unconsciously finds a way to group visual cues together
when a stimulus is presented below your absolute threshold
Constancy is...
the tendency to perceive objects in the same way no matter what
when your brain unconsciously takes what it knows and applies it to a situation
when your two eyes work together to form an image
binocular cue: Apparent movement of stationary objects relative to one another based on the observer moving around
convergence
motion parallax
continuity
closure
Which is perceptual inference?
noticing when someone puts more weight in your backpack
knowing that even though it looks like you will drop off the edge of the highway in the distance, you won't when you get there because the highway continues on
when your brain unconsciously groups items together
Figure ground perception is important in...
vision and hearing
smelling and tasting
touching
Convergence is...
a monocular cue when less overlapping shows you something is closer
a binocular cue that shows items closer to you moving more
a binocular cue where your eyes turn inwards as something gets closer to you
Closure, continuity, and proximity are all examples of...
sensation
figure ground perception
Gestalt principles
monocular cues
