Exam Questions and Answers | A+ Score
Assured
Object agnosia - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the lack of ability to identify objects
Top-down processing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a process whereby our existing
knowledge of objects influences how we perceive them
Bottom-up processing - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔a process whereby physical stimuli
influence how we perceive them
What is recognition - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the ability to match a presented item
with an item in memory
What is representation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the storage and/or reconstruction
of information in memory
,Perceptual organization: grouping - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔recognizing that some
things go together, comes naturally to us
Perceptual organization: segregation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔you are able to
differentiate things, two different white colored objects, can use bottom-up
and top-down processes to recognize objects
Perceptual organization: Gestalt Psychology - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔how
symmetry and convexity effect figure ground organization, viewed
symmetrical regions as the objects rather than the background
