Perception - Objectives 1 - 11

While reading a novel, Raoul isn't easily distracted by the sound of the TV or even by his brothers' loud arguments. This best illustrates:

• interposition

• The phi phenomenon

• selective attention

• perceptual constancy

• retinal disparity

When the soundtrack for a movie is played in the back of a classroom, students tend to perceive the sound as originating from the picture screen in the front of the room. This best illustrates:

• location constancy.

• the phi phenomenon.

• selective attention.

• perceptive adaptation.

• visual capture.

A gestalt is best described as a(n):

• binocular cue.

• illusion.

• perceptual adaptation.

• organized whole.

• perceptual set.

A floating sea vessel is to the ocean water as __________________________ is to _______________________.

• light and shadow; relative height

• closure; continuity

• lightness constancy; relative height

• figure, ground

• proximity; similarity

A 3-D movie enhances ones' sense of depth perception by simulating the effects of:

• interposition.

• retinal disparity.

• linear perspective.

• convergence

• perceptual constancy

Which of the following is a binocular cue for the perception of distance?

• interposition

• convergence

• closure

• linear perspective

• texture gradient

Although the mountains were over 30 miles away, the morning sky was so close and clear that Showana thought they were only half the distance away. this best illustrates the importance of:

• lightness constancy

• relative height.

• texture gradient

• relative size

• relative clarity

The steady increasing size of the retinal image of an approaching object is especially important for perceiving the object's:

• shape.

• relative clarity.

• motion.

• height.

• weight.

The illusion of movement in animated neon signs is known as:

• the phi phenomenon,

• relative motion

• retinal disparity

• visual capture

• interposition.

Lightness constancy is most clearly facilitated by:

• visual capture

• interposition

• relative luminance

• retinal disparity

• the Phi Phenomenon
