Background on visual object recognition during object recognition or pattern recognition, you identify a complex arrangement of sensory stimuli, and you perceive that this pattern is separate from its background. When you recognize an object, your sensory processes transform and organize the raw information provided by your sensory receptors. You also compare the sensory stimuli with information in storage. The visual system the distal stimulus: is the object that is out there in the environment. The proximal stimulus is the information registered on your sensory receptors.
