Module 19: Visual Organization and Interpretation

If you see triangles, it can best be explained by

• gestalt

• opponent-process theory

• trichromatic color theory

• absolute threshold

___________________ refers to the DIFFERENCE in what our right eye sees compared to our left eye, allowing us to see DEPTH.

• Retinal disparity

• Color constancy

• Perceptual adaptation

• Perceptual constancy

When PARALLEL LINES seem to meet in the distance this is called

• linear perspective

• interposition

• gestalt

• perceptual constancy

The black shape appears to be closer to us than the green one because of

• interposition

• linear perspective

Although two eyes allow us to see depth, with just ONE EYE we can still detect DEPTH by using _____________.

• monocular cues

• retinal disparity

• binocular cues

There looks like there is movement in the image. This illusion is called

• the phi phenomenon

• color constancy

• parallel processing

• priming

Our tendency to integrate pieces into an ORGANIZED WHOLE is called ______________.

• gestalt

• figure-ground

• retinal disparity

• perceptual constancy

The white parts of the picture is considered the

• figure

• ground

The VISUAL CLIFF was used to study

• depth perception

• absolute threshold

• monocular cues

• perceptual constancy

True or False:

If you lose an eye, you lose ALL your depth perception.

• True

• False
