Document Summary
Holistic face processing: face inversion effect, findings that recognition of inverted faces is less accurate than recognition of upright faces, disrupted by reversing the contrast. Prosopagnosia: patients fail to recognize familiar faces, can see and describe the face, not a problem of name retrieval, damage to specific portion of it (ffa- fusiform face area) Julian beever- pavement drawing: flat 2d drawing, ex. Drawing of swimming pool with women swimming: look at the food and tip of foot- it is very long laying on the ground, having to make a 3d interpretation from a 2d image. Visual cues to depth: how does the brain determine depth from 2d images, monocular cues (available in single eye, binocular cues (combining information from 2 eyes) Pictorial cues: convey a sense of 3d in a single flat image, perspective- any changes in appearance of objects (projected image) as they recede in depth (world), a.
