Exam 3 PSYC 230 UIUC 2025/2026 Exam
Questions with 100% Correct Answers |
Latest Update
Object Agnosia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Inability to recognize objects using only
vision
- Lack ability to label object, but can identify features of object (red, circular,
etc..)
- Can tell you color, shape, etc..
Bottom Up Processing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Physical properties of a stimulus
influence how we perceive them
- Light -> eyes -> ganglion cells -> visual cortex
- STIMULUS-driven
,Top Down Processing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Existing knowledge of objects
influences how we perceive them
- EXPERIENCE-driven
Recognition - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Ability to match an item with something from
memory
Representation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Storage/Reconstruction of information in
memory
Grouping - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into
coherent groups
Segregation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Top-down knowledge used to pick apart a
scene (separate white chairs from white table)
Bottom-Up knowledge: Visual cues tell us where things are in relation to
others, what things are in a scene
Gestalt Psychology - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a psychological approach that
emphasizes that we often perceive the whole rather than the sum of the
parts
, - Whole is greater than the sum of its parts
Perceptual Organization - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the process of grouping and
segregating features to create whole objects organized in meaningful ways
figure-ground perception - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the ability to discriminate
properly between a figure and its background
- Affected by symmetry, convexity
Law of symmetry - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the gestalt grouping law that states that
elements that are symmetrical to each other tend to be perceived as a
unified group
- Because many of the objects in the world are symmetrical, so an object
that has an edge on one side, there is probably an edge on the other side
- Affects figure ground interpretation
- Perceive things not in symmetrical brackets as background
Convexity in gestalt psychology - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔More likely to perceive
less convex things as figure, not ground
Law of good continuation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔lines tend to be seen as
following the smoothest path n
