Document Summary
Current view-retina"s red green and blue cones respond in varying degrees during stimuli, then the signals that are sent out are processed by the nervous system"s opponent processed cell. Typically, twin studies are used to explore the effects of nature on behavior. The process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimuli from our environment is known as sensation. If no one sees a tomato, a tomato is not red. Average person can discriminate more than a million different color variations. A group of german psychologists noticed that when presented with a cluster of sensations, people organize them into a gestalt= organized whole , we constantly filter sensory information and infer perceptions in ways that makes sense to us. Proximity-states that nearby objects are grouped together (ex: 6 random dots vs 6 dots arranged into a triangle) Similarity-similar figures are grouped together (ex: image of ovals and rectangles show a cross and squares)
