    Study Notes

    1. Movement perception is crucial for survival.
    2. Movement attracts attention and provides information about an object's 3D shape.
    3. Motion detection is direct, and movement perception is not solely dependent on form recognition.
    4. There are different types of movement perception, including real, apparent, induced, autokinetic, and movement after-effects.
    5. The threshold for detecting movement depends on the object and its surroundings.
    6. Perception of velocity is affected by the size of the moving object and the framework through which it moves.
    7. The Helmholtz outflow theory explains how we perceive movement by distinguishing between muscle movement and retinal movement.
    8. Apparent movement can be induced by flashing lights.
    9. Surrounding objects can induce movement perception.
    10. Movement after-effects occur when an observer views a pattern moving in one direction and then views a stationary spot, which appears to move in the opposite direction.
    11. Motion after-effect arises from an imbalance in the ratio of activities from two sets of directionally-tuned receptors.
    12. Movement provides information about 3D shape, helps segregate figure from ground, and interact with the environment.
    13. Colour is good for scene segmentation, camouflage, and perceptual organization.
    14. Trichromatic theory hypothesizes that there are three different types of receptors that respond best to different wavelengths of light.
    15. Opponent process theory hypothesizes three processes that are opponent in nature: red-green, yellow-blue, and black-white.
    16. Both theories are correct as trichromacy is at the level of cones, and opponent processes are at the level of LGN and cortical cells.
    17. Colour blindness should be termed 'colour deficiency'.
    18. Anopias is missing a type of cone, and anomalies are a misalignment of L or M in trichromats.
    19. Protanopes see only 2 colours, and deuteranopes see only 4 colours.
    20. Anomalous trichromatism is a deficiency in L or M cone pigment.
    21. Color blindness supports both color vision theories.
    22. Some humans and animals have more pigment cone types and can detect variations in hue.
    23. Perception of depth relies on various cues, including oculomotor, pictorial, movement-produced, and binocular disparity.
    24. Oculomotor cues involve the position and tension of eye muscles and lens shape.
    25. Pictorial cues can be depicted in still pictures and include overlap, relative size, height, atmospheric perspective, familiar size, linear perspective, shading, and texture gradient.
    26. Movement-produced cues include motion parallax, deletion, and accretion.
    27. Binocular disparity relies on the fact that our eyes see the world from slightly different positions.
    28. Corresponding and non-corresponding retinal points determine the amount of disparity.
    29. Stereo-blindness affects 2-5% of people.
    30. Hyperstereo can increase depth perception from disparity.
    31. The visual system uses disparity information to generate a percept of depth.
    32. A stereogram is a 3D image created by presenting the same image to both eyes but shifting one slightly to the left or right.
    33. There are many ways to make a stereogram, including random dot stereograms, animated autostereograms, and lenticular displays/printing.
    34. Perception of form and organization is important for recognizing, using, and naming objects in a structured and coherent environment.
    35. Marr's approach to perception is concerned with the representation of edges, contours, and other areas of contrast change.
    36. Gestalt psychology is concerned with rules of perceptual organization, including the whole being greater than the sum of its parts.
    37. Gestalt psychologists are interested in how we group parts of a stimulus together and how we separate figure from ground.
    38. The Gestalt laws of perceptual organization include similarity, good continuation, proximity, connectedness, closure, common fate, familiarity, invariance, and Prägnanz.
    39. Figure-ground segregation is the process of separating objects that seem prominent from those that recede into the background.
    40. Properties that affect whether an area is seen as a figure or ground include symmetry, convexity, area, orientation, and contrast.
