Sensation and Perception
18
gestalt : a german word meaning a "form" or a "whole"
figure : Our first task in perception is to perceive any object called the
ground : as distinct from its surroundings is called
proximity : grouping nearby figures together
similarity : grouping of similar figures together
continuity : perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones
closure : filling gaps to create a whole object
connectedness : objects that are connected are some how grouped together
familiarity : objects in familiar positions are easier to recognize
symmetry : tendency to perceive preferentially forms that make up mirror images
retinal disparity : difference between the two images the retinas receive of an object
convergence : extent to which the eyes converge inward when looking at an object
relative size : smaller image of two objects of the same size appears more distant
interposition : nearby objects partially obstruct our view of more distant objects
relative height : higher objects are farther away
relative motion : as you move, stable objects appear to move relative to us
linear perspective : converging of parallel lines indicates greater distance
relative brightness : dimmer objects seem more distant
perceptual constancy : refers to the principle that we perceive objects as unchanging
illusions : created when perceptual clues are distorted and our brains cannot correctly interpret space, size, and depth
