Terms : Hide Images
| 15758497088 | gestalt | * An organized whole. * Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes. | 0 | |
| 15758497089 | figure-ground | * relating to the perception of an image by background objects. * ex) Depending on whether you see the black or the white as the figure, you may see either two faces in profile |  | 1 |
| 15758497090 | grouping | the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups | 2 | |
| 15758497091 | depth perception | * the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional * allows us to judge distance |  | 3 |
| 15758497092 | visual cliff | A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals |  | 4 |
| 15758497093 | binocular cues | * Depth cues that depend on the use of two eyes * retinal disparity and convergence | 5 | |
| 15758497094 | retinal disparity | * left eye and your right eye view slightly different images. |  | 6 |
| 15758497095 | monocular cues | * Depth cues that is available to either eye alone * interposition and linear perspective | 7 | |
| 15758497096 | phi phenomenon | optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed as continuous motion. |  | 8 |
| 15758497097 | perceptual constancy | Perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent lightness, color, shape, and size) even as illumination and retinal images change | 9 | |
| 15758497098 | color constancy | Perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object | 10 | |
| 15758497099 | perceptual adaptation | * In a vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced visual field * ex) wearing glasses |  | 11 |
| 15758497100 | as objects move, we think | shrinking objects are retreating and enlarging objects are approaching | 12 | |
| 15758497101 | brightness/lightness constancy | our ability to perceive an object as having a constant lightness even when its illumination changes |  | 13 |
| 15758497102 | brain constructs object's color or brightness | through comparisons with surrounding objects | 14 | |
| 15758497103 | shape constancy | our ability to perceive familiar objects as unchanging in shape |  | 15 |
| 15758497104 | size constancy | perceiving objects as unchanging in size despite their changing retinal images |  | 16 |
| 15758497105 | perceptual interpretations are guided by | our experiences | 17 |
