• Bottom-Up Processing . Answer: analysis that begins with the sensory
receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information
• Top-Down Processing . Answer: information processing guided by
higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions
drawing on our experience and expectations
• Perceptual Set . Answer: A predisposition or readiness to perceive
something in a particular way
• Closure . Answer: the tendency to complete figures that are incomplete
• Figure and Ground . Answer: the organization of the visual field into
objects that stand out from their surroundings.
• Proximity . Answer: the grouping of objects or items that are close to
each other.
• Similarity . Answer: the tendency to perceive things that look similar
to each other as being part of the same group
• Attention . Answer: Focusing awareness on a narrowed range of
stimuli or events
• Selective Attention . Answer: The ability to focus on only one stimulus
from among all sensory input
, • Cocktail Party Effect . Answer: Ability to concentrate on one voice
amongst a crowd
• Inattentional Blindness . Answer: Failing to see visible objects when
our attention is directed elsewhere
• Change Blindness . Answer: Failing to notice changes in the
environment; a form of inattentional blindness
• Binocular Depth Cues . Answer: Cues of depth perception that arise
from the fact that people have two eyes
• Retinal Disparity . Answer: a binocular cue for perceiving depth by
comparing images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes
distance — the greater the difference between the two images, the closer
the object.
• Convergence . Answer: A binocular cue for perceiving depth; the
extent to which the eyes cross when looking at an object
• Monocular Depth Cues . Answer: Aspects of a scene that yield
information about depth when viewed with only one eye
• Relative Clarity . Answer: a monocular cue for perceiving depth; hazy
objects are farther away than sharp, clear objects
• Relative Size . Answer: a monocular cue for perceiving depth; the
smaller image is farther away
• Texture Gradient . Answer: a monocular cue for perceiving depth; a
gradual change from a coarse distinct texture to a fine, indistinct texture
signals with increasing distance.
• Linear Perspective . Answer: A monocular cue for perceiving depth;
the more parallel lines converge, the greater their perceived distance.
