Mental processes of organizing stimuli into meaningful patterns

perception

100

where you are at or environment around you

Contextual influences

100

What is it called when we group things that are similar together

similarity

100

Things that are close look clear and things that are far away are fuzzy

Clarity

100

based on how far inward the eyes need to move when focusing on an object. Allows your brain to judge the distance of an object. 

convergence 

200

this is how we organize information or group ideas

schema

200

previous events in our lives influence how we will react to things

experiential influence

200

What is it called when we tend to fill in gaps in patterns to make it complete?

Closure

200

When things close look bigger and things farther away look smaller

relative size

200

difference between images the eye perceives because of slightly different perspectives, or angles for each eye

Retinal disparity

300

What is it called when you when you see something new and you look at the small details to try to understand it 

Bottom-up processing
300

Cultural experiential influences are

when you expect something based on the cultural that you are used to

300

What is it called when we group things that are close together?

proximity

300

When two lines running parallel look like they are converging on each other?

linear perspective 

300

Explain the difference between size constancy and shape constancy

size- perception of an object as the same size even though to may seem to grow (coming towards you) or shrink (moving away)

shape- perception of an object’s shape stays the same even though the pov angle may change or the object may rotate

400

What is it called when you use previous knowledge and experience and context expectation to figure out what you are perceiving 

top-down processing

400

You are influenced by what you think is going to happen

expectation influences

400

What is it called when the thing we are looking at is clear and everything else is blurry?

Figure and ground

400

What is texture gradient?

when things closer have more details/texture and things farther away look smooth

400

Explain the difference between Phi phenomenon and Stroboscopic effect

Phi phenomenon- lights blink on and off- it seems like they are moving


Stroboscopic effect- images presented a speed to seem like movement.

500

mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another. You are influenced by experiences and environment

perceptual set

500

someone is at a party and they expect it to be boring and they notice that no one is really dancing and many people are leaving early- what type of influence is this?

expectations 

500

how our brain finds gaps or patterns to complete perception. Looking at the group as a whole

Gestalt  Psychology

500

What is it called when we can tell something is farther away because part of it is blocked by something else?

Interposition

500

Explain the difference between color constancy and brightness constancy

Color- perception that the color or hue stays the same even if the light reflection has changed

Brightness- perception that colors have a certain brightness no matter the illumination in the area
