Study Notes
Vision Impairment and Cortical Damage
- Damage to a region of V1 causes a region of blindness in the corresponding part of the visual field, a type of vision impairment known as scotoma.
- Scotoma is characterized by a blind spot in the visual field, resulting from damage to the primary visual cortex (V1).
Neuropsychological Evidence
- Selective loss in shape perception due to extrastriate visual cortex damage supports the 3-stage model of object recognition.
Subjective Contours
- Occlusion plays a role in subjective contours, where the brain fills in missing information to create a complete shape.
Object Perception Deficits
- Damage causing an individual to have local features but be unable to perceive objects or match shapes of test stimuli is known as apperceptive agnosia.
Associative Agnosia
- The main feature of associative agnosia is the inability to recognize objects despite intact basic visual perception.
Object Perception Theories
- According to the structuralist school of thought, object perception is defined as a combination of basic features.
Gestalt Principles
- The Law of Closure predicts that the brain will complete incomplete shapes based on available visual information.
- The Law of Good Continuation predicts that the brain will group elements that are continuous and smooth.
- The principle of similarity predicts that elements similar to each other will group together.
Texture Segmentation
- Grouping by proximity or similarity is involved in texture segmentation.
Global Precedence Effect
- Navon letters demonstrate the global precedence effect, where global features are processed before local features.
Object Recognition
- Evidence from neuropsychological studies supports the importance of meaning and memory in object recognition.
