Document Summary
Opponent process theory: opponent-process theory: each 3 cone types (red, blue, green) responds to two different wavelengths: one red or green, one blue or yellow , and a third, black or white (each pair contains opposites or opponents). Pairs of visual neurons work in opposition explain afterimage. We have perceptual processes for enabling us to organize perceived colors and lines into objects: Keeping a sense of shape and color constancy despite changes in visual information. In most visual scenes, we pick out objects and figures, standing out against a background. Some art muddles this ability by giving us two equal choices about what is figure and what is ground : Our senses take in the blue information on the right. Perceiving depth and size: monocular depth cues: aspects of a scene that yield information about depth when viewed with only one eye.
