  1. PERCEPTION!

  2. Our Essential Questions • How does perception influence our perspectives? • What is the Gestalt perspective? • What are the various types of perceptions we have?

  3. Perception • The process of integrating, organizing, and interpreting sensation • Sensation is the stimulation, perception is the interpretation

  4. What do you think this mental integration, organization and interpretation is influenced by?

  5. Perceptions influenced by: ----Motivation ----Values ----Expectations ----Experience ----Culture ----Cognitive Style ----Personality

  6. Perception • Selective Attention focus of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus

  7. Visual Capture • tendency for vision to dominate the other senses

  8. Perception – say it • The process of integrating, organizing, and interpreting sensation

  9. Perceptual Constancy • We perceive objects as unchanging despite changes in retinal image • color/ brightness • shape • size

  10. The door changes shape, but you know that it doesn’t really change

  11. Visual capture • tendency for vision to dominate the other senses

  12. Gestalt Psychology • “unified whole” • Whole>sum of its parts • If we break experiences into their basic parts, something important is lost

  13. What do you see here?

  14. What do you see here?

  15. cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!

  16. Gestalt Psychology • Gestalt Psychologists focus on how we normally perceive images as groups, not isolated elements • Several factors influence how we will group objects: -Proximity -Similarity -Continuity -Closure

  17. Gsaeltt pysolgchoy epxanlis why taetlned eodtirs msis ebmarsasrnig tpyos. Our mnid prerefs "ctrorecing" waht we altclauy see.

  18. Figure- Ground relationship • organization of the visual field into object (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground) • Analyzing separate information allows us to re-act to each individual object accordingly • Camouflage – when figures blend into the background

  19. Camouflage

  20. What is the figure, and what is the background here?

  21. Dyslexia: inability to revisualize the gestalt of the word • Is this a problem with sensation or perception?

  22. Can you remember? • 836492059

  23. How’d you do? • 836492059

  24. Grouping • tendency to organize stimuli into groups • Aka “chunking” • Patterns, shapes, forms • How many #s can we remember?

  25. So how do we group? • Similarity • Proximity • Continuity • Closure

  26. Grouping - Similarity • The tendency to place items that look similar into a group

  27. Grouping - Proximity • The tendency to place objects that are physically close to each other in a group

  28. Grouping - Continuity • The tendency to follow a line and continue along the simplest, smoothest path

  29. Grouping - Closure • The tendency to fill in gaps in a perceptual field

  30. Perceptual Set • a bias or readiness to perceive certain aspects of available sensory data and to ignore others • Stereotypes?

  31. Perpetual Set - UFO

  32. Depth Perception • ability to see objects in 3D • allows us to judge distance

  33. Let’s try it! • Binocular vs. monocular…which one’s better? • With both eyes open, touch your index fingers together in front of your face. • Now close one eye and try. • Try at different distances.

  34. Depth Perception: Binocular Depth Cues Module 10: Perception

  35. Depth Perception – Binocular Cues • Retinal disparity: differences between 2 images of 1 scene • most effective when the item is quite close to the person

  36. Depth Perception – Binocular Cues • Convergence: 2 eyes focusing on the same object creates tension • The more tension, the closer the object • Works best at close distances

  37. Binocular Depth Cues: Finger Sausage

  38. Depth Perception: Monocular Depth Cues Module 10: Perception

  39. Depth Perception - Monocular Cues • Relative size: Using the perceived size of a familiar object to determine depth • The larger the object appears, the closer the object is to the viewer

  40. Depth Perception - Monocular Cues • Relative motion: when moving, we can determine depth by focusing on a distant object • Aka motion parallax • http://psych.hanover.edu/krantz/motionparallax/motionparallax.html

  41. Relative Motion

  42. Depth Perception – Monocular Cues • Figure-ground: tendency to organize stimuli into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surrounding (the ground) • figure = object (s) that draws one’s attention • ground = background

  43. What is the figure, and what is the background here?
