Exam 3: Perception

If you use a configurational system to recognize cars.Which would describe your process?

With this type of agnosia,perceptual processing is fine.The person can represent objects visually but is unable to use the information to recognize things.

This perceptual deficit is thought of in terms of damage to the "how" visual pathway,and results in difficulties with using ones visual system to guide one's own movements.

Nancy has a difficult time with perceiving very specific sounds.This would be an example of what type of agnosia?

This particular color deficit is the result of a malfunction in one of the mechanism for color perception in which the person may have a difficult time distinguishing particular colors.

Describe how a person with monocular depth cues but no binocular depth cues "survive" in today's world.What would be the implications of having just the one set of cues for depth?

The three types of interneuron cells are:

Compare and contrast the various bottom-up theories of perception (e.g. ,template theories,prototype theories,feature theories,and recognition-by-components theory).

The two eyes increasingly turn inward as objects approach the eyes;in turn,the brain interprets these muscular movements as indications of distance from the eyes.The major depth cue represented in this description is

Gibson's direct perception model is sometimes referred to as a(n)__________,because of Gibson's concern with perception as it occurs in the everyday world rather than in laboratory situations.

This particular type of context effect occurs when recognition of an object is easier when it is seen in a configuration rather than when the object is presented in isolation.

Compare and contrast the various forms of deficits in perception.

Imagine that you were building an artificial life form.Explain why and how you would incorporate the notions of top-down and bottom-up processing.What would be needed to implement such a system?

This part of the brain seems to play an important role in the recognition of faces.

The viewpoint of direct perception was championed by

What is the "face positivity" effect in older participants?

The template theories,prototype theories,feature theories,and computational theories of form and pattern perception are all

This particular deficit in perception is defined as when a person has a difficult time navigating the everyday environment (e.g. ,fails to recognize landmarks,gets lost on familiar routes).

Which of the following statements best describes how to best understand perception.

According to the __________ theory of object perception,objects are recognized based on the perception of the distinctive arrangement of various geons (a set of three dimensional geometrical elements)that compose each object.
