Study Notes
Visual Perception
- Figure-ground: Ability to distinguish an object (figure) from its background (ground).
- Grouping: Perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.
- Depth Perception: Ability to judge distance and see objects in three dimensions.
- Visual Cliff: A laboratory device testing depth perception in infants and young animals; an illusion of a drop.
- Binocular Cues: Depth cues using both eyes.
- Retinal Disparity: Brain compares slightly different images from each eye to judge distance.
- Monocular Cues: Depth cues usable with just one eye.
- Phi Phenomenon: Illusion of motion from sequential lights blinking on and off.
