Exam 3: Perception

Top-down processing is to bottom-up processing as Constructivist is to ______________.

__________ perception is a key view of perception,also known as intelligent perception,because it states that higher-order thinking plays an important role in perception.

Upon seeing a pair of eyeglasses,a patient with __________ noted first that there was a circle,then there was another circle,then a crossbar,and finally guessed that he was looking at a bicycle.

What are the monocular depth cues?

Disturbance in the temporal region of the cortex can lead to __________,in which a person is unable to pay attention to more than one object at a time.

This proposal for pattern-recognition suggests that we have two systems for recognizing patterns.One system specializes in the recognition of parts of objects,and the second system specializes in recognizing

A person with this form of color deficiency can see only shades of gray and truly no color what so ever.The person has cones but the cones are nonfunctional.

__________ perception refers to a key view of perception which asserts that the perceiver builds the stimulus that is perceived,using sensory information as the foundation for the structure,but also considering the existing knowledge and thought processes of the person.

The results of Farah (2000)research using faces,parts of faces,houses and parts of houses supported which conclusion about face recognition.

The two eyes send increasingly disparate images to the brain as objects approach the eyes.The brain interprets the degree of disparity as an indication of distance from the person.The major depth cue represented in this description is

According to __________ theories of form perception,people attempt to match characteristics of an observed pattern to existing characteristics,without considering the prior experience of the perceiver or what the perceiver already knows about the context in which the form is presented.

This view of perception suggests that later-stage representations are directly influence by and are not independent of our attentional focus.

Julie sees a flower,she notes it is red and appears to be a rose.What is the distal object?

These neurons contribute to depth perception by integrating incoming information from both eyes.

__________ reflects a severely impaired ability to recognize human faces.

Alice suffers from a peculiar perceptual deficit,such that she does not recognize her own face in the mirror.This phenomenon is called

This strategy suggests that for developing and using mental representations we focus on a prominent item and then characterizes other information in relation to that item.

Melanie has a peculiar perceptual deficit.She can sense all parts of her visual field,but the objects she sees do not mean anything to her.This phenomenon is called

What is perceptual constancy and why is it important?

What is the pattern recognition system? Explain how this system is important for perception.
