PSYC 1300 Hornstein Test 2 Questions With Correct
Answers
Sensation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Process of picking up information,
| | | | | | | |
bottom-up: starts at the senses and works up to higher levels of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
processing
Sensory Information Processing - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Stimulus
| | | | | |
energy, transduction, breif memory system - iconic (see)/echoic(hear)
| | | | | | | |
storage, selection for further processing
| | | |
Perception - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Process of interpreting information,
| | | | | |
top-down: uses the sensory input to construct perceptions based off
| | | | | | | | | | |
experiences and expectations | |
Gestalt Psychology - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Whole is greater than the
| | | | | | | | |
sum of its parts, humans have a natural tendency to view things as a
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
whole
Figure & Group - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ability to focus on a figure and
| | | | | | | | | | | |
have the background fade away
| | | |
, Perceptual Grouping - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Proximity - grouping
| | | | | | |
nearby figures together
| |
Continuity - perceive continuous patterns
| | | |
Closure - fill in gaps to create a whole object
| | | | | | | | |
Perceptual Set - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Expectation and prior
| | | | | | |
experiences can influence perception, we see what we want or expect
| | | | | | | | | |
Perceptual Constancies - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Size Constancy - see
| | | | | | | |
objects true size regardless of how we see it
| | | | | | | |
Shape Constancy - see an objects true size regardless of its orientation
| | | | | | | | | | |
Binocular Depth Cues - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Retinal Disparity - Each
| | | | | | | | |
eye has a slightly different perspective, combination of both eyes helps
| | | | | | | | | | |
to perceive depth
| |
Convergence - movement of eye muscles to measure distance
| | | | | | | |
Monocular Depth Cues - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Texture gradient -
| | | | | | | |
closer objects have a more detailed texture
| | | | | |
Linear perspective - two parallel lines in the distance appear to meet
| | | | | | | | | | |
Depth Perception - As Inborn - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Visual cliff
| | | | | | | | |
experiments suggest some innate aspects of depth perception
| | | | | | |
