PSYB57H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 5: Occipital Lobe, Two-Streams Hypothesis, Gestalt Psychology
Document Summary
To understand how environmental cues help us segment objects and infer distance and depth; To distinguish between bottom-up and top-down theories of perceptual processing, and to illustrate their distinction using multiple theories and/or examples (as appropriate); To reconcile the inherent conflict between bottom-up and top-down theories of perceptual processing; To distinguish between feature analysis and configurational analysis systems; To link perception and object recognition to the ventral stream of processing through brain scanning and brain injury studies; To bridge ideas and applications from perception and object recognition to higher" cognitive functions (e. g. , attention) From sensation to perception (information sensation perception) Sensation: raw data is processed by sensory receptors eyes, ears, nose, skin, tongue (the 5 senses) Perception: sensations are processed in the brain, ex. Tree light waves eye (occipital lobes of the brain receive sensory information from the eye and process it as tree ) Gestalt principles of perceptual organization: proximity, similarity, closure, good continuation, common movement, good form.
