  1. Chapter 4 Part 2 Sensation and Perception

  2. Perceiving Forms, Patterns, and Objects • Reversible figures • Perceptual sets • motivational forces can foster perceptual sets • Inattentional blindness • Feature detection theory - bottom-up processing

  3. Perceiving Forms, Patterns, and Objects • Form perception - top-down processing • Subjective contours • Gestalt psychologists: the whole is more than the sum of its parts • Reversible figures and perceptual sets demonstrate that the same visual stimulus can result in very different perceptions

  4. Figure 4.25 Feature analysis in form perception

  5. Figure 4.26 Bottom-up versus top-down processing

  6. Figure 4.27 Subjective contours

  7. Principles of Perception • Gestalt principles of form perception: • figure-ground, proximity, similarity, continuity, closure, and simplicity • Recent research: • Distal (stimuli outside the body) vs. proximal (stimulus energies impinging on sensory receptors) stimuli • Perceptual hypotheses • Context

  8. Figure 4.28 The principle of figure and ground

  9. Figure 4.29 Gestalt principles of perceptual organization

  10. Figure 4.30 Distal and proximal stimuli

  11. Figure 4.31 A famous reversible figure

  12. Depth and Distance Perception • Binocular cues – clues from both eyes together • retinal disparity • convergence • Monocular cues – clues from a single eye • motion parallax • accommodation • pictorial depth cues

  13. Stability in the Perceptual World:Perceptual Constancies • Perceptual constancies – stable perceptions amid changing stimuli • Size • Shape • Brightness • Hue • Location in space

  14. Optical Illusions:The Power of Misleading Cues • Optical Illusions - discrepancy between visual appearance and physical reality • Famous optical illusions: Muller-Lyer Illusion, Ponzo Illusion, Poggendorf Illusion, Upside-Down T Illusion, Zollner Illusion, the Ames Room, and Impossible Figures • Cultural differences: perceptual hypotheses at work

  15. Figure 4.44 The Ames room

  16. Figure 4.45 Three classic impossible figures

  17. Hearing: The Auditory System • Stimulus = sound waves (vibrations of molecules traveling in air) • Amplitude (loudness) • Wavelength (pitch) • Purity (timbre) • Wavelengthdescribed in terms of frequency: measured in cycles per second (Hz) • Frequency increase = pitch increase

  18. Figure 4.47 Sound, the physical stimulus for hearing
