Document Summary
Subjective perception: what one sees from their point of view. Topological breakages: when two textures intersect discontinuity, signals the edges between objects important for defining objects, 3. Identifying something - a pattern that fit with a categorical knowledge - as an instance of a category. Importance of features: similar to the primary visual cortex which has special cells/areas for processing different visual features (color, lines: 2. Top down influences: the influence of context and observer"s knowledge, expectations, high level goals on perceptual experiences. Bottom up influences: the influence of the stimulus on the resulting perceptual experience. Principle of proximity: objects or features that are close to one another in a scene will be judged as belonging together, visual elements that are close to one another are grouped to form a whole, 3. Principle of similarity: we organize objects or features of a scene based on similarity (shape, size, color, visual elements that are similar are grouped together, 6.
