Document Summary

Perception making sense out of sensory information. Experience: bottom-up = take in individual elements and combines them into a unified perception. (analysis) => sensatio, top-down = interpret using existing knowledges (instinct), putting sensory information together => perception. Role of attention: focusing on certain stimuli, filtering other information. Inattentional blindness failure of unattended stimuli to register in consciousness look at something without noticing it: environmental factors. Intensity: novelty (new, movement, contrast, repetition, personal factors (internal, motives. Binocular disparity: each eye sees a slightly different image 3d movies. Convergence: turn eyes inward to view closer object. Motion: shrinking object = appears to be retreating, enlarging objective = appears to be approaching, stroboscopic movement = illusionary movement caused when a light flashed briefly and another light flashed again nearby.
