Document Summary
When it comes to visual perception we need to keep three things in mind: For a living organisms to process information about these stimuli, it must first receive the information through one or more sensory systems. Made up of the reception of information and its registration by a sense organ. Light waves reflect from objects (trees and cars) to our eyes, in particular to a surface at the back of each eye known as the retina. Percept - the meaningful interpretation of the proximal stimulus. Although the researcher studying perception disagree much, they do agree that percepts are not the same thing as proximal stimuli. Rubber hand illusion - brain can response based on experience. How we perceive things are on multiple modalities. Learning outcomes: describe and differentiate different bottom up models of perception, as discussed in class, describe the role of bottom up and top down processes in perception, describe and differentiate two types of visual agnosia.
