Top-down processing is: - 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 known as: - Answer✔Perceptual Organization
Figure-Ground organization is: - 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
The perception of a physically absent but inferred edge, allowing us to complete the perception
of a partially hidden object, is known as: - Answer✔Edge completion

Which school of psychology is associated with the following statement: "The perception that

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: - 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: - Answer✔Trichromatic theory of color vision
