PSYA01H3 Lecture Notes - Habituation, Drools
Document Summary
Slide 45: even though our bounces with each move, our eyes adjusts in order to keep our vision stable. There"s actually constant change in our world, but they"re irrelevant, which the brain filters out. Slide 46: one image is slightly brighter than the other. For example, while you"re talking to something, a cloud comes over, and that causes a shadow that changes the lighting. However, our visual system keeps it constant so we don"t see it as a big deal when the world changes. Slide 47: when you look at a closed door, it"s rectangular, but once you open it (right image), the geometry is different, but we don"t perceive it as a big change. The brain corrects for the change in geometry by making us see a rectangular from a different orientation. This is another example how our brain attempts to make our vision stable and constant. These changes are irrelevant and our brain looks at the reality.
