PSYC230 UIUC Exam 3 - Questions With Relevant
Solutions
Top down processing is: Correct Answer - a process whereby our existing
knowledge of objects influences how we perceive them
The process by which multiple objects in the environment are grouped
allowing us to identify multiple objects in complex scenes is Correct Answer
- perceptual organization
Figure-ground organization is: Correct Answer - The experience viewers
have as to which part of image is in front and which part of an image is in the
background of a particular scene
T/F: Previous knowledge and experience with objects forever changes the
way we perceive and identify those objects in the future. Correct Answer -
True
Geons are: Correct Answer - the basic units of objects, consisting of simple
shapes such as cylinders and pyramids
Face agnosia, that is, a neurological injury resulting in a deficit in perceiving
faces, is known as: Correct Answer - prosopagnosia
Looser and Wheatley (2010) pointed out that all human minds have faces, but
not all faces have human minds. In their study: Correct Answer - They
used electroencephalographic (EEG) technology to look at responses to
photographs of real faces and photographs of dolls and mannequins.
The color quality of light, corresponding to the color names we use such as
orange, green, indigo, and cyan, is known as: Correct Answer - hue
What is the difference between additive and subtractive color mixing?
Correct Answer - Additive color mixing is what happens when we mix lights
of different colors, whereas subtractive color mixing occurs when we mix
paints or other colored materials.
, The principle whereby any single cone system is colorblind, in the sense that
different combinations of wavelength and intensity can result in the same
response from the cone system, is known as: Correct Answer - Univariance
That the color of any light is determined by the output of the three cone
systems in our retinae is known as the: Correct Answer - Trichromatic
theory of color vision
Loss of color vision due to damage to the occipital lobe is known as: Correct
Answer - Cortical achromatopsia
Imagine being in a room being uniquely lit by "perfect red" bulbs, which emit
only one very specific red wavelength that corresponds to the perfect red hue.
In this scene which of the following objects will appear the darkest: Correct
Answer - a green pepper
The distribution of wavelengths in sunlight changes across the day. Evening
light has more long-wavelength light than light earlier in the day. This means:
Correct Answer - Color constancy must correct for the change in the
distribution of light
People tend to have significantly fewer S-cones than L- and M-cones on their
retinas. The consequence of the lower number of S-cones is that individuals'
visual acuity: Correct Answer - is reduced when visual information is
presented in blue.
_______ is the idea that basic perceptual experiences may be determined in part
by the cultural environment. Correct Answer - Cultural Relativism
Synesthesia is a phenomenon for which: Correct Answer - some people
can have color experiences arising from other non-color sensations.
The appearance of real motion from a sequence of still images is known as:
Correct Answer - Apparent Motion
MT or V5 is an area in the: Correct Answer - Occipital lobe in the dorsal
pathway, specific to motion detection and perception
