Physical Properties of Waves
The tool in the eye that helps determine color
What is hue?
The psychology term for the object that is under review
What is scene?
The organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings
What is figure-ground?
Short wavelength and high frequency color
What is bluish color?
Receptor rods and cones --> bipolar cells --> ganglion cells
What is retinal processing?
The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups
What is grouping?
Long wavelength and low frequency color?
What is reddish color?
Brain's detector cells respond to specific features -- edges, lines, and angles
What is feature detection?
***Example of grouping***
We group nearby figures together. We see not six separate lines, but three sets of two lines
What is proximity?
A color that has a great amplitude
What is bright colors?
Brain cell teams process combined information about motion, form, depth, and color
What is parallel processing?
***Example of Grouping***
We perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones. This pattern could be a series of alternating semicircles, but we perceive it as two continuous lines -- one wavy, one straight
What is continuity?
A color that has a small amplitude
What is dull colors?
Brain interprets the constructed image based on information from stored images
What is recognition?
***Example of Grouping***
We fill in the gaps to create a complete, whole object
What is closure?
