Light Energy/Eye Structures
What is type of energy is light?
Light is electromagnetic energy.
unconscious processes we undergo to make sense of the stimuli and sensations we encounter.
What is perception?
How do we perceive depth?
We perceive depth by using depth cues.
Two types of depth cues are binocular and monocular cues. (extra points if you mentioned the cues!)
This retinal receptor detects fine details & color sensations in daylight
What is cones?
In what way does light travel?
Light travels in waves.
True or False, putting the things we see into different categories helps us perceive better.
True
What is Perceptual Organization?
How the brain organizes the information it receives from the eyes into “meaningful and digestible patterns”
The 3 types of color receptors in the retina
What is red, blue, and green?
What does the iris control?
The iris controls the pupil, which controls how much light is entering our eye.
Our perceptual set influences what we perceive, this mental tendency reflects our.....
What are the experiences, assumptions, and expectations?
What are binocular cues?
Depth cues such as retinal disparity that require the use of both of our eyes to complete the image in our brain.
The three systems that process visual information so we can see
What is the retina, the thalamus, and the visual cortex?
Once light goes in through your pupil, what happens next?
It goes to the lens which influences the light to transmit the image onto your retina.
A German philosopher who believed perception to have more nature.
Who is Immanuel Kant?
Is perception learned or innate?
Give reasons for your answers.
Both/Psychologists are still debating.
Some say perception is learned because our brains can adapt to changes in perception, therefore, debunking the innate theory.
Some say it’s innate because even babies at 6 months can perceive depth.
The nerve cells in the brain respond to these specific features of a stimulus
What is shape, angle, or movement?
How does the retina work?
The retina does not see a whole image, however it sends the bits and pieces of the image to your brain to put together and understand.
a Chinese mother might interpret a good grade on her child’s test (stimulus) as her child having guessed on most of the questions (interpretation) and therefore as worthy of discipline, while an American mother will interpret her child as being very smart and worthy of praise.
What are values and culture?
What are five monocular cues?
Linear perspective
Relative size
Superimposition
Texture gradient
Height in plane

What is parallel processing?
