  2. Sensation and Perception Chapter

  3. Perception

  4. Perception • The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information

  5. Gestalt Organizational Principles Module 9: Perception

  6. Gestalt • The “whole,” or the organizational patterns that we tend to perceive • Gestalt psychologists stressed that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. • By breaking experiences into their basic parts, something important is lost.

  9. Gestalt Organizational Principles: Figure-Ground Relationships Module 9: Perception

  10. Figure-Ground • The organization of the visual field into objects (figures) that stand out from their surroundings (ground) • The figure is the object(s) that stands out or draws one’s attention. • The ground is the background.

  11. Figure-Ground

  12. Gestalt Organizational Principles: Grouping Principles Module 9: Perception

  13. Grouping • The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into understandable units • Several principles of grouping include: • Similarity • Proximity • Closure • Continuity

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

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

  16. Grouping – Closure • The tendency to look at the whole by filling in gaps in a perceptual field

  17. Grouping – Continuity • The tendency to perceive that movement of an object continues once it appears to move in a particular direction

  18. Depth Perception Module 9: Perception

  19. Depth Perception • The ability to see in three dimensions and judge distance

  20. Visual Cliff • A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals • Infants are reluctant to crawl past the “edge” of the visual cliff • Other animals had similar results. • Suggests that depth perception, to some extend, is inborn

  21. Visual Cliff

  22. Depth Perception: Binocular Depth Cues Module 9: Perception

  23. Binocular Cues • Depth cues that require the use of both eyes

  24. Retinal Disparity • A binocular depth cue resulting from slightly different images produced by the retina of the left and the retina of the right eye • Is most effective when the item is quite close to the person

  25. Binocular Depth Cues: Finger Sausage

  26. Convergence • A binocular depth cue related to the tension in the eye muscles when the eyes track inward to focus on objects close to the viewer • The more tension in the eye muscle, the closer the object is • Works best at close distances

  27. Depth Perception: Monocular Depth Cues Module 9: Perception

  28. Monocular Cues • Depth cues that require the use of only one eye • Monocular depth cues include: relative size, relative motion, interposition, relative height, texture gradient, relative clarity, and linear perspective.

  29. Monocular Depth 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

  30. Monocular Depth Cues – Relative Motion • A person who is moving can determine depth by focusing on a distant object. • Objects further away than the object of focus will appear to move in the same direction as the subject is moving. • Objects closer than the object of focus will appear to move in the opposite direction.

  31. Relative Motion

  32. Monocular Depth Cues – Interposition • Method of determining depth by noting that closer objects partially obstruct the more distant objects • Also called “overlap”

  33. Monocular Depth Cues – Relative Height • Method of determining depth by noting that distant objects appear higher in your field of vision than do closer objects

  34. Monocular Depth Cues – Texture Gradient • Method of determining depth by noting that distant objects have a smoother texture than nearby objects

  35. Monocular Depth Cues – Relative Clarity • Method of determining depth by noting that distant objects are less clear than nearby objects • Tends to work outdoors

  36. Monocular Depth Cues–Linear Perspective • Method of determining depth by noting that parallel lines appear to converge in the distance • The lines appears to eventually merge on the horizon.

  37. Perceptual Constancy Module 9: Perception

  38. Perceptual Constancy • Perceiving the size, shape, and lightness of an object as unchanging, even as the image on the retina of the eye changes • The understanding that objects usually remain the same
