A failure to recognize objects, where the inability to recognize faces is specifically called prosopagnosia.

A type of agnosia where an individual struggles to perceive and copy simple patterns.

A type of agnosia where an individual can perceive objects but struggles to link them to their meaning or function.

The phenomenon where a later visual stimulus influences the perception of an earlier one.

A process that summarizes and analyzes the original input, for example by simplifying visual and auditory information.

The central part of the retina where our sharpest vision occurs.

A model using different 'demons' to represent stages of pattern recognition, starting with basic features and moving to higher-level interpretations.

Information is lost as light passes through the eye due to reflections from cells at the back of the eye.

The phenomenon where a visual stimulus continues to be perceived for a brief moment after it has disappeared from view.

Rapid eye movements that occur between fixations, lasting around 25-100 milliseconds.

Pauses between saccades where the eye takes in visual information.

The process of receiving energy from the environment and encoding it into the nervous system.

The process of interpreting and understanding sensory information.

A theoretical approach to pattern recognition that suggests we recognize patterns by breaking them down into their individual components.

A model of pattern recognition suggesting we recognize objects based on their basic shapes or 'geons'.

The duration for which information remains in iconic memory, estimated to be about half a second (0.5s).

A brief memory system that holds auditory information for a short time, like an echo.

Infrared sinks are objects or areas that absorb infrared radiation, making them visible to infrared cameras.

A phenomenon where the ability to recall auditory information is disrupted by a distracting sound presented immediately after learning.

Basic three-dimensional shapes that, according to Biederman, act as building blocks for recognizing objects. Examples include cylinders, cones, and blocks.

Top-down processing uses prior knowledge and expectations to interpret sensory information. Think of it as using your brain's 'library' to make sense of things.

Bottom-up processing starts with sensory data and builds understanding based on that information. Think of it as starting with the 'raw ingredients' and building your understanding.

An experiment conducted by Sperling to test the capacity and duration of iconic memory (visual sensory memory). It involved presenting a brief flash of letters followed by a cue indicating which row to recall.

The ability to remember visual information for a very brief period after it is no longer present. It's like a 'snapshot' of what you just saw.

A type of agnosia where individuals struggle to recognize familiar faces, despite being able to recognize other objects.

A process where light information is lost as it passes through the eye due to reflections off various cells at the back of the eye.

Sperling's experiment involved presenting a brief flash of letters in a grid and then requiring participants to recall them. He found that recall was limited by the duration of visual sensory memory.

Visual sensory memory (VSM) allows you to briefly retain a picture of what you just saw, even after the image is gone.

In the Averbach & Coriell experiment, a small dot cue helped participants recall letters from a brief visual display. This experiment studied the duration and capacity of iconic memory.

A short-lived mental representation of a visual stimulus, holding information for about half a second. It's like a brief snapshot of what you just saw.

A brief visual memory that lasts about half a second.

Rapid eye movements that occur between fixations, lasting around 25-100 milliseconds.

Pauses between saccades where the eye takes in visual information, lasting for a longer time.

The process of receiving energy from the environment and encoding it into the nervous system. Like translating the world into something your brain can understand.

The process of interpreting and understanding sensory information. It's how you make sense of the world.

This approach proposes that we recognize patterns by breaking them down into their individual features or components.

This model suggests we recognize objects based on their basic 3D shapes, called geons.

It refers to the persistence of a visual stimulus beyond its physical duration. You see an image for a short time after it disappears.

A brief memory system that perceives auditory stimuli. It's like an echo of what you just heard.

When light passes through the eye, some information is lost due to reflections off cells at the back of the eye. This leads to a simplified or 'summarized' representation of the visual stimulus.
