100

stimulus energy is collected by the sense organ

reception

100

floaters, cataracts and glaucoma are all diseases associated with which biological influence on vision. 

Ageing

100

Predisposition to perceive the world in a particular way. 

Perceptual set

100

Describe the picture used by Hudson (1960) 

Man throwinga spear in foreground, elephant in background.

100

Which illusion uses a trapezoid room to create an illusion of size difference?

Ames room

200

our past experiences, motive, values and context give meaning to the stimulus

interpretation

200

colour blindness is caused by?

genetics- carried on y chromosome

200

Perceptual set is made up of 4 aspects:

motivation, emotion, experience. Name the 4th

Context

200

Conclusion drawn by Hudson 1960

culture affects perception of 2D vs 3D images

200

Caused by psychological factors and occurs when perception constantly varies from objective reality (its consistent from person to person)

Illusion
300

Tough transparent tissue covering the front of the eye

Cornea

300

This terms means the disorder was present at birth

congenital

300
The visual perception principle that sees the image as a meaningful whole

Gestalt principles

300

Bugelski and alampay- which study?

Rat man
300

Carpentered world hypothesis and perceptual compromise theory are 2 theories used to explain which illusion?

Muller-lyer

400

damage to the right occipital lobe would result in this

affects function of right eye

400

build up of grainy deposits in the centre of the retina causing deterioration of central vision

Macular degeneration

400

the visual perception principle that enables us to maintain perception in spite of the image actually changing on our retina

perceptual constancies

400

being the first study to show that culture plays a role in depth perception was a strength of which study?

Hudson (1960)

400

Necker cubes, and the work by MC Escher are examples of what?

Impossible figures

500

Feature detectors play a key role in this stage

Selection

500

when the lens begins to lose flexibility and it becomes more difficult to focus on close things

Presbyopia

500

Linear perspective, interposition, texture gradient, relative position, height in the visual field are all what form of which visual perception principle

Depth cues- monocular

500

Hudson (1960), Deregowski (1972) and Deregowski, Muldrow and Muldrow (1972) all studied depth perception- which visual perception principle did they investigate

monocular depth cues

500

In the Ames room, we maintain shape constancy at the expense of size constancy is an example of which visual perception principle?

Perceptual constancy
