Influences on Visual Perception

Which of the following processes has begun as soon as special receptor cells for the senses are activated?

• perception
• adaptation
• habituation
• sensation

Almost half the birds in the yard were brown cardinals and the rest were bright red cardinals, so Jimmy perceived them as two distinct groups of birds. This best illustrates the principle of:

• connectedness
• similarity
• closure
• relative clarity

Which cells for visual processing are located closest to the back of the retina?

• bipolar cells
• rods and cones
• subliminal cells
• feature detectors

The tendencies of humans to group stimuli by similarity and by physical proximity to each other are illustrative of 

• Perceptual inference
• Gestalt principles
• Concept of constancy
• Prototype theory

The cones of the eye help us see

• color
• low light
• black and white
• ice cream

A reversible figure, such as the vase/face figure, makes use of which principle of perception?

• closure
• proximity
• similarity
• figure-ground relationship

Depth cues that only require one require one eye are

• Binocular Cue
• Trichronocular Cue
• Monocular Cue
• Single Vision Transparency

Type of photoreceptor that functions in low light and creates shades of gray

• retina
• rod
• cone
• choroid

A binocular cue that allows for depth perception when images from the two eyes differ

• Relative size

• Color Constancy

• Linear perception

• Retinal Disparity

Which Gestalt principle is being shown here?

• Continuation

• Proximity

• Closure

• Figure/Ground
