Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes.]]> 2017-12-04 15:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212899554 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212899565 The tendency for vision to dominate other senses. ]]> 2017-12-04 15:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212899565 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212901639 The organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground).]]> 2017-12-04 15:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212901639 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212903573 Grouping: The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.

[Proximity]: Group nearby figures together.

[Similarity]: Group together figures that are similar to each other. (We see triangles and circles as vertical columns of similar shapes, not dissimilar shapes.)

[Continuity]: We perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones. 

[Connectedness]: They are uniformed and linked, we perceive the two dots and the line between them as a single unit.

[Closure]: Fill in gaps to create a complete, whole object.

Two-dimensional images fall on our retina, yet we somehow organize three-dimensional perceptions.]]> 2017-12-04 15:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212910685 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212913332 A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.]]> 2017-12-04 15:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212913332 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212914229 Depth cues, such as retinal disparity and convergence, that depend on the use of two eyes.]]> 2017-12-04 15:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212914229 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212914907 A binocular cue for perceiving depth: By comparing images from the two eyeballs, the brain computes distance — the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object.]]> 2017-12-04 15:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212914907 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212916635 A binocular cue for perceiving depth; the extent to which the eye’s converge inward when looking at an object. The greater the inward strain, the closer the object.]]> 2017-12-04 15:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212916635 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212918164 [Relative Size]: Two objects are similar in size, we perceive the one that casts the one that casts the smaller retinal image as farther away.
[Interposition]: If one object partially blocks our view of another, we perceive it as closer.
[Relative Clarity]: Light from distant objects passes through more atmosphere, we perceive hazy objects as farther away than sharp, clear objects.
[Texture Gradient]: A gradual change from a coarse, distinct texture to a fine, indistinct texture signals increasing distance. [Objects far away appear smaller and more densely packed.
[Relative Height]: We perceive objects higher in our field of vision farther away.
[Relative Motion/Motion Parallax]: As we move, objects are actually more stable may appear to move. Objects beyond the fixation point appear to move with you, and the farther away those objects are, the faster they will move.
[Linear Perspective]: Parallel lines, such as railroad tracks, appear to converge with distance.
[Light and Shadow]: Nearby objects reflect more light to our eyes.]]> 2017-12-04 15:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/212918164 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213285921 We perceive the form of familiar objects as constant even while our retinal images of them change - a door casts and increasingly trapezoidal image on our retinas as it opens, yet we still perceive it as rectangular.]]> 2017-12-05 14:06:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213285921 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213285999 The monocular cues for distance [such as linear perspective and relative height] make the pursuing monster look larger than the pursued. It is not. This visual trick is based on the same principle as the fleeing monsters. The two red bars cast identical-sized images on our retinas. But experience tells us that a more distant object can create the same-sized image as a nearer one only if it is actually larger. As a result, we perceive the bar that seems farther away as larger.]]> 2017-12-05 14:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213285999 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213286086 The corners in our rectangularly carpentered world teach us to interpret "outward" or inward" pointing arrowheads at the ends of a line as a cue to the line's distance from us and so to its length. The red line defined by the corner at the ticket booth looks shorter than the red line defined by the room corner. But if you measure them, you will see that both are the same length.]]> 2017-12-05 14:07:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213286086 ssalad5268 https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213286394 The amount of light an object reflects relative to its surroundings/distance.]]> 2017-12-05 14:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ssalad5268/a0dqnzhzk0ri/wish/213286394
