Perception- lecture 9

In perception, who first broke things down into elements and process?

What did James Gibson say about perception?

Light waves, sound waves and vibrations are all examples of incoming data that are in which type of processing?

Who first emphasized the role of context, what was the experiment and what did they find?

Simons and Chabris (1999) showed the importance of what?

Explain the processes involved in low-level perception

What are the two types of visual receptor cells in the retina?
How many of each?

We can pass light through a single cone and calculate
the spectral absorption of different wavelengths, this is called?

What theory states that we have 3 types of cone receptor?

Name the colour that each wavelight length is sensitive to....
short, medium, long

2 pathways within the retina?

How does information move from the eye to
the visual cortex

V1 is then split into two streams, these are?

Name the parts of the brain associated with the dorsal and ventral streams?

Name the things that v3, v4 and v5 process

Who came up with functional specialization and what does it say?

What happens if you give someone Achromatopsia (lesion their v4)? What does this tell us in relation to zeki's theory?

Name an experiment that gives evidence for functional neuroimaging

Whos research suggests that our system is
tuned to code specific feature characteristics? Describe it

Deciding which features
belong together and form objects was advanced with the help of which branch of psychological thinking?

Name factors that influence how we decide which features
belong together and form objects

'Of all the possible ways of interpreting a display, we opt for the simplest and most stable shape or form' is what?

How do we know that object recognition is fast?

Which cells in the visual cortex respond to
HIGH spatial frequency and LOW spatial frequency information?

Name a supporting study for high and low SF

What are the two types of visual agnosia?

Name an influential cognitive model of object recognition by Selfridge and Neisser (1960)

Name 3 evaluation points for the Template Matching Theory

Name the 4 categorical levels of recognition
