Document Summary
Review: size constancy: proximal stimulus does not equal the percept. Bottom up processes: pick up little pieces of environment and piecing them together to create a bigger picture. Three general classes: template matching: correspondence between external stimulus and stored pattern in memory (internal template) problems: you need lots of templates and need to have an exact match. Does not deal with variation of stimuli: feature analysis: objects are combinations of features. First we recognize the features then we recognize the combinations. Don"t need to match 100% but need to have familiar features. There is also a reduced number of templates because you only store the basics, that can apply or form different things: prototype matching: matching pattern to stored representation. The most basic and typical dog the doggiest dog. There are not necessary features like in feature analysis. The more features the more likelihood of a match.
