Document Summary
Information and sometimes energy that the mind can process to help us survive. The process by which agents interpret and organize sensation to produce a meaningful experience of the world. It means turning information from one form into new, meaningful representations. Atypical: senses in the bowel, stomach, pain receptors, heat receptors, etc. Extra mission theory: rays of light coming from the eye in combination with light in the world allowing us to see. Intromission theory: visual perception is accomplished by rays of light reflected from objects into the eyes. Light is reflected into the eye and focused on the retina. Cone: three types: correspond to short (blue, medium (green, long wavelengths (red); works best in bright light. Fewer cone cells exist for peripheral vision. Size: we know how big things are. Perspective: things are smaller on the fovera as they get farther, as you get further things get smaller.
