Document Summary
Helmholtz"s theory of unconscious inference unconscious inferences or assumpions based on likelihood. : some of our percepions are a result of: ex: inferences about occlusion. Good igure: tend to group things into the easier igures (see some complex polygons as made up of 2 simple shapes) Proximity: objects close together are grouped together. Common fate: objects that are performing the same acion are grouped together. Similarity: shapes with the similar shapes are grouped together. Good coninuaion: see a line as coninuous even if the line is occluded. Familiarity: tend to group things into familiar shapes (ex: square + triangle = house) Ungerleider & mishkin experiment: double associaion between the 2 pathways: landmark discriminaion task: remove food well cover closest to the cylinder. Cannot perform this if parietal lobe is removed. Can sill perform object discriminaion: object discriminaion task: recall which item was previously presented. Cannot perform this if temporal lobe is removed.
