Human Information Processing and Vision Stages Quiz

The Human Information input/received – visual, auditory, haptic, movement. Information stored in ______ – sensory, short-term, long-term.

Information processed and applied – reasoning, problem solving, skill, ______, error.

Each person is different. Vision has two stages: physical reception of stimulus – processing and interpretation of ______.

Vision – Physical Stimulus: Motion, light, temperature, sound,...– ______.

The Eye - physical reception mechanism for receiving light and transforming it into electrical energy. Light reflects from objects, images are focused upside-down on ______.

The retina contains rods for low light vision and cones for color vision. Ganglion cells (brain!) detect pattern and ______.

Size and depth – visual angle indicates how much of the view object occupies (relates to size and distance from eye). Visual acuity is ability to perceive detail (limited). Objects of the same size at different distances have different visual angles. Objects of different sizes and different distances may have the same visual angle – visual acuity increases with luminance as does ______.

Brightness – subjective reaction to levels of light – affected by luminance of object – measured by just noticeable difference – visual acuity increases with luminance as does ______.

Color – made up of hue, intensity, saturation – cones sensitive to color wavelengths – blue acuity is lowest – 8% males and 1% females are ______.

The visual system compensates for: movement – changes in ______.
