Preceptual Process For Visual and Auditory Recognition

The flashcards below are designed to help you learn about the perceptual process for visual and auditory recognition. Not only for you get to learn about them, but you also get a chance at testing how well the flashcards helped you in your journey to understanding why the visual memory lasts longer than the auditory. Be sure to read as carefully as you can!

Background on visual object recognition x5
- perception - visual stimuli - previous knowledge - object recognition - pattern recognition
7 parts of the visual system
- distal stimulus- proximal stimulus - retina- sensory memory - iconic memory - visual sensory memory - occipital lobe - primary visual cortex - inferotemporal cortex
What type of psychology is this: figure, or whole entity ground with ambiguous figure-ground relationship
Gestalt psychology
2 explanations for figure-ground reversal
1. adaptation of neurons in visual cortex2. people try to solve the visual paradox
Another word for illusory contours

3 theories of visual object recognition
- template matching theory - feature analysis theory - the recognition by components theory
- consists of templates- compare stimulus to templates until a match is found - most simplest but incomplete theory
Template - matching theory
Problem with the template matching theory
- inflexible - only works for isolated letters, numbers, objects
Has distinctive features i- recognizes letters and numbers on envelopes
Feature analysis theory
Research that decides if two letters are different
Eleanor Gibson's research
What researches have been done on the feature analysis theory
Eleanor Gibson's research Hubel and Wiesel's research
What research consists of single-cell recording techniques, orientation of a visual stimulus, primary visual cortex and feature detectors
Hubel and wiesel's research
What is the problems with feature- analysis approach
- doesnt account for the relationship between features- doesnt explain recognition of more complex objects
This theory consists of combining geons to form objects and the structural theory.
The recognition-by- components theory
