Document Summary

What happens after we determine object distance. Binocular: when looking at away the objects: 65 o o. Populations who have not adapted to these cues see lines as same size. Shape constancy: knowing the shape: keep the shape of objects the same with movement. Shape of door when you open it rectangle trapezoid but still know it as a rectangle: keep objects the same. Constructionists: create meaning from basic elements or features: pasting everything together. Feature analysis is a bottom-up process: build from smallest on objects and build into larger meaningful units. Biderman: see geons, basic shapes world is made of components and shapes that are pasted together to be interpreted. Top down processing: takes experiences with world and applies it to the world, theory and test it: bottom up and top down processing can work together. Perception is about figuring things out but also depends, in part, on.
