psych 132 exam 2
parallax
At what age do infants start processing cues related to size constancy - Answer -2-15
weeks
what color are the cone systems located in our retina - Answer -red, green, blue
Tritanopia is color blindness in what colors - Answer -yellow and blue
according to the ______ participants more accurately identified the shape of the cookie
cutter through ______ - Answer -haptic touch experiment; active exploration
the skin receptors allow us to process - Answer -vibration, temp, and pain
cues are - Answer -non specific, signals, hints, constructive
what are the steps to perceive distance - Answer -event, lawfully generate, info,
specification
info is diff from cue bc info is... - Answer -fully informative, requires no elaboration,
specific, and ecological
interposition (superposition) is : depth cue or info - Answer -cue
elevation: depth cue or info - Answer -cue
linear perspective : depth cue or info - Answer -cue
shading and lighting : depth cue or info - Answer -cue
relative size: depth cue or info - Answer -cue
lens accommodation (kinesthetic): depth cue or info - Answer -cue
texture gradient - Answer -as a uniformly textured surface recedes, its texture
continuously becomes denser
texture gradient: depth cue or info - Answer -info
, motion parallax - Answer -the perception of motion of objects in which close objects
appear to move more quickly than objects that are farther away
motion parallax: depth cue or info - Answer -info
cues are not informative bc they .... - Answer -aren't always present, not specific to
distance, and require elaboration
motion parallax is largely available specifictional ( T or F) - Answer -T
binocular convergence - Answer -the nearer the object, the more your eyes turn inward
binocular convergence: depth cue or info - Answer -cue
how far does binocular convergence work up to - Answer -20 ft
Binocular disparity (stereopsis) - Answer -the difference in images between the two
eyes, which is greater for objects that are close and smaller for distant objects
binocular disparity is similar to ..... - Answer -motion parallax
binocular disparity: depth cue or info - Answer -info
two diff ways to test binocular disparity - Answer -stereoscope and stereogram
what number of the population has defective stereopsis ( Strabismus) - Answer -5
ex of strabismus - Answer -mis- aligned visual axis and poor binocular coordination
visual cliff experiment found that ..... - Answer -Infants as young as 6 months usually
hesitate to crawl past the apparent edge of a visual cliff, which suggests that they are
able to perceive depth.
touch test had influence on babies ( T o F) - Answer -False, no influence
who were tested for the visual cliff experiment - Answer -6-14 month babies, .5 day old
chicks and bby goats
how did the goats react to the "cliff" - Answer -it got into defensive posture and hurried
back to the darker area
relative size is primary (T/F) - Answer -F, motion parallax is primary
unequal retinal size (half) and equal head size image on eye is - Answer -twice as big
on retina
