Document Summary
Gasalt philosophy- the whole is greater than the the sum of its parts . Expectations what you expect to see can in uence what you do see. Top-down processing object recognition is guided by your own beliefs or expectations can"t wok alone b/c you need input from the stimulus before your expectations about that stimulus can in uence your recognition of it in uenced by the context! Priming e ects recognition time (ex. of words in the experiment) Bi-directional activation features of the object are combined with our expectations. Geon theory we have 36 di . simple geometrical forms stored in memory some stimuli cannot be described by goons, yet they can still be recognized (i. e. faces or a crumpled piece of paper) Template theory we store many templates in memory, and when we come across an object, we compare that object to all the templates we have - if no match is found, then we create a new template.
