Myers Module 13

perceptual organization

QuestionAnswer
Gestalt an organized whole
Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes
Figure-ground the organization of the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (background)
Grouping the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups
Depth perception the ability to see objects in 3D although the image that strikes the retina are 2 dimensional; allows us to judge distance
Visual cliff a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals
Binocular cues depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes
Retinal disparity binocular cue for perceiving depth; distance between two images- by comparing images from the two eyeballs, the brain computes distance- the greater disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object
Monocular cues depth cues such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.
Perceptual constancy perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change
Color constancy perceiving familiar objects as having consisten color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths
