100
You can add more lights to cancel out the original light's color through this process, such as using cyan to cancel red or blue to cancel yellow.
What is additive color mixing?
100
This term describes the slight difference between the images seen by each eye, which the brain uses to perceive depth.
What is binocular disparity?
100
These regions in the visual cortex can change in size and location based on attentional demands, focus, and the presence of distracting stimuli.
What are receptive fields?
100
These rapid, jerky eye movements shift the focus of vision from one point to another, occurring when scanning a scene or reading.
What are saccades?
100
This is the smallest detectable difference between two stimuli.
What is the just noticeable difference?
200
When you place a blue square next to a yellow background, this effect makes the blue appear more vivid and distinct.
What is color contrast?
200
These depth cues, such as occlusion, relative size, and linear perspective, can be perceived using just one eye.
What are monocular depth cues?
200
This phenomenon occurs when a visual change in a scene goes unnoticed, especially when attention is diverted or focused elsewhere.
What is change blindness?
200
This type of motion, defined by texture change instead of luminance change, is only seen in the lab.
What is second-order motion?
200
This brain region is involved with perceiving the motion of people and animals.
What is the posterior superior temporal sulcus?
or What is the STSp?
300
These two vision deficiencies would make it difficult for someone to distinguish between red and green colors.
What is deuteranopia or protanopia?
300
These have no disparity and therefore can't contribute to binocular vision.
What are objects on the horopter?
or
What are corresponding points?
300
This theory proposes that while basic visual features like color and shape can be processed without focused attention, binding these features together to perceive a coherent object requires selective attention.
What is Feature Integration Theory?
300
This phenomenon occurs when stationary objects in your visual field disappear from awareness as a result of surrounding motion.
What is motion-induced blindness?
300
A neuron will not fire if a stimulus does not activate this.
What is its receptive field?
400
This phenomenon ensures that the perceived color of objects remains relatively stable under varying lighting conditions.
What is color constancy?
400
This approach to perception uses prior knowledge and probabilities to interpret ambiguous sensory information and make predictions about the most likely outcome.
What is the Bayesian approach?
400
In scene perception, this attention pathway processes object identity, similar to the 'what' pathway in visual processing.
What is the selective pathway?
400
This brain area becomes active when processing complex motion, such as when navigating through your environment while walking.
What is the MST?
or
What is the medial superior temporal area?
400
This term refers to the finest spatial detail that the visual system can resolve when presented at 100% contrast.
What is visual acuity?
or
What is acuity?
500
This term describes the percentage of light that a surface reflects at each wavelength, helping determine the color we perceive.
What is spectral reflectance? or What is the density of reflected light?
500
This increases the likelihood of accurate and reliable depth perception across situations. They do not prioritize any one cue over others across contexts.
What are Perceptual Committees?
500
This early selection model of attention suggests that information is filtered based on physical attributes before reaching higher levels of processing
What is Broadbent's Filter Model?
500
This theory explains how the brain uses a copy of motor commands to prevent confusion between actual motion in the environment and motion caused by eye movements.
What is Corollary Discharge Theory?
500
This visual condition, also known as double vision, occurs when the brain receives mismatched images from the two eyes and fails to combine them into a single image.
What is diplopia?
