  1. Perception • The set of processes that organize information in the sensory image and interpret that information as having been produced by objects or events in the external world • Role is to make sense of sensations • What is perceived • The overall process of comprehending objects and events in the environment

  2. Perception • 3 stages • Sensation-conversion of physical energy in to neural code • Perceptual organization-internal perception of an object is formed and a percept of the external stimulus is developed. Working representation of the perceivers external environment ex(vision-seize, shape, movement, distance) • Identification/recognition-assigns meaning to percepts (ex. Circles become coins, balls clocks etc.)

  3. Stimuli • Retinal image 2 dimensional • Distal • Physical objects in the world • Proximal • Optical image on the retina • Ambiguity • Perceptual object that may have more than one interpretation • Illusions • Perceptual systems actually deceive you into experiencing a stimulus pattern in a manner that is a demonstratably incorrect

  11. Illusion • http://www.maniacworld.com/Spinning-Silhouette-Optical-Illusion.html

  12. Study of Perception • Helmholtz (1866)-nurture • Using prior knowledge • Unconscious inferences • Perception that occurs outside of conscious awareness • Analytic stage-break physical world down • Synthetic stage-integrate and synthesize

  13. Study of Perception • Gestalt-Koffka(1935)/Kohler (1947)/ Wertheimer (1923) • Viewed as organized, structured wholes • Whole is more than the sum of its parts

  14. Gestalt principals

  15. Gestalt • http://graphicdesign.spokanefalls.edu/tutorials/process/gestaltprinciples/gestaltprinc.htm

  16. Study of Perception • Theory of Ecological options Gibson+Gibson (1966+1979) • Focused on the properties of external stimuli • Perceiver as an explorer of the environment

  17. Attentional Processes • Attention-state of focused awareness on a subset of the available perceptual information

  18. Attentional Processes • Goal directed selection • Choices you make about objects to which you’d like to attend

  19. Attentional Processes • Stimulus-driven capture • Features of stimulus-objects in the environment, capture your attention

  20. Attentional Processes • Filter Theory (Broadbent 1958) • Mind has limited capacity to take in information and the selection occurs early on in the process before the input’s meaning is accessed • Dichotic listening • Different auditory stimulus is simultaneously presented in each ear

  21. Filter • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pK0BQ9CUHk

  22. Attentional Processes • Preattentive Processes • Processing of sensory information that precedes attention to specific objects • Allows guided search

  23. Organizational Processes • Divides stimuli into figures • Figures-object like regions of the visual field that are distinguished from background • Ground-backdrop or background areas of the visual field against which figures stick out

  24. Organizational Processes • Illusory contours • Contours perceived in a figure when no contours are present

  25. Kaniza Triangle Effect • http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.lopn.net/images/KIaniza1.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.lopn.net/Kaniza.html&h=297&w=476&sz=4&hl=en&start=3&tbnid=mBtvT3VsrNcv7M:&tbnh=80&tbnw=129&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dillusionary%2Bcontours%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26s

  26. Organizational Processes • Closure-makes you see incomplete figures as complete, balanced, symmetrical

  27. Closure • http://www.3dbcreative.com/uploads/plusminus/33/Gestalt_Panda_web.jpg

  28. Organizational Processes • Law of Proximity • Law of grouping states the nearest or most proximal, elements are grouped together

  29. Law of Proximity • http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://z.about.com/d/psychology/1/0/D/1/proximity.jpg&imgrefurl=http://psychology.about.com/od/sensationandperception/ss/gestaltlaws_4.htm&h=400&w=400&sz=28&hl=en&start=1&tbnid=wj_lWFC7Hido-M:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=/

  30. Organizational Processes • Law of similarity • Law of grouping states: similar elements are grouped together

  31. Similarity • http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://z.about.com/d/psychology/1/0/E/1/similarity.jpg&imgrefurl=http://psychology.about.com/od/sensationandperception/ss/gestaltlaws_2.htm&h=400&w=400&sz=28&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=ZwO8UStSUO-h7M:&tbnh=124&tbnw=124&prev=

  32. Organizational Processes • Law of common fate • Law of grouping states: elements moving in same direction at the same rate are grouped together

  33. Integration • Fixation-glance at something becomes fixed in mind • Spatial+temporal integration • Fixed locations in different moments for seeing what is around you

  34. Fixed Motion • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmkLlVzUBn4

  35. Motion • Changing of size • Induced motion • An illusion in which a stationary point of light with in a moving reference frame is seen as moving +the reference frame is seen as stationary

  36. Motion (Phi phenomenon) • Apparent motion-movement illusion in which one or more stationary lights going on and off in succession are perceived as a single moving light

  37. Phi Phenomenon • http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/0070579431/student_view0/chapter8/phi_phenomenon_activity.html

  38. Depth Perception • Depth-distance from an object

  39. Depth Perception • Depth cues • Binocular • 2 eyes • Retinal disparity-displacement between the horizontal positions of corresponding images in the two eyes

  40. Depth Perception • Depth cues • Convergence • Degree to which eyes turn inward to fixate on an object

  41. Depth Perception • Relative motion parallax • Depth, relative distances of object from a viewer determine the amount + direction of their relative motion in the retinal image

  42. Depth Perception • Pictorial cues • Depth perception using one eye • Interposition or occlusion • Blocking out an object (one is in front of another) • Shadows ex. Person inside window • Size/distance relation • Closest projects largest size • Railroad example

  43. Ponzo Illusion

  44. Depth Perception • Perceptual constancy • The ability to retain an unchanged percept of an object despite various retinal images ex. Person moving round-close, back etc.

  45. Depth Perception • Size constancy • The ability to perceive the true size of an object despite variations in the size of the retinal image • Prior knowledge

  46. Ames Box • http://www.truveo.com/Neat-Ames-Room-Illusion/id/69467737

  47. Depth Perception • Shape constancy • Ability to perceive the true shape of an object despite variation of size of retinal image

  48. Depth Perception • Orientation constancy • Ability to perceive the actual orientation of objects in the real world despite their varying orientation in the retinal image • Whit help from inner ear

  49. Depth Perception • Lightness constancy • The tendency to perceive the whiteness, grayness or blackness of objects as constant across changing levels of illumination
