Document Summary

It can generate many expressions: half, middle, center, manner, remedy, common, transmitting . Medium, in fact, is the center, nucleus, and heart of something as well as that which is ambiguous, common and mediocre. The medium is an object, of various natures, that is placed in the middle, between our senses and the external world, and functions as a tool of perception and instrument of apprehension. Humanized objects, objects charged with individual and/or collective human creativity. Humans perceive through the senses; living is perceiving. Perceptions: pieces of information received through our senses, and selected, analyzed, processed and stored by our brain. Not limited to five senses, also insights into an issue, question, or problem . Experiences are rooted in perceptions; similarities are recognized by the use of similar parts of the sensorium, or by the same senses. The five senses: visual, oral, olfactory, tactile, and gustatory. Two channels of perception: tactile and visual senses.

Gestalt psychology, from a perception viewpoint, states that thewhole is more than the sum of its parts. How our brain groupsthings together to make sense of an object based on prior knowledgeand memory is the basis of Gestalt psychology. Sometimes, weperceive something differently from what it really is, experiencingan optical illusion.

Explain the five laws of Gestalt perception. Find some examplesof optical illusions on the Internet. (Hint: Google the keywordsâGrand Illusion: Optical Illusionsâ to view several examples ofoptical illusions.) Select at least two examples of opticalillusions and explain how those illusions work on the basis ofGestalt psychology and its laws of perception.

Even though they have been doing it all their lives, people need to study communication simply because it is so complex. As stated in chapter 3 of the book, we all perceive things differently and "perception and communication influence each other, perception shapes our understanding of others' communication and the choices we make in our own communication" (pg. 41). For the reason that the choices we make and the ways that we view things/situations are changing everyday, communication between two individuals also changes and becomes more complex. Though we can communicate in general, how we communicate and what we communicate depends on how we perceive the world around us, making communication not as simple as it seems. As humans, we create broad categories of things (prototypes) and place people into them (Wood pg. 43). We then go on to create a more detailed assessment (a personal construct) where we measure a person or situation with a certain dimension of judgment (Wood pg. 43). We also place people and situations into stereotypes by making predictive generalizations or simply predicting what the personal/situation will be like or what will happen (Wood pg. 43). With all of these components to a basic path of communicating with others, it's hard to not see why we would study our complex underlying system of human communication. Not only do we make assumptions, but we base our thoughts/actions off of those assumptions which can then all be interpreted differently among various individuals. We study communication to try and dissect all of these interpretations and perceptions of others "to make sense of experience and to predict how we and others will act" (Wood pg. 45). Sometimes we follow a script or just simply act a specific way in a specific situation (like greeting someone and telling them your name) (Wood pg. 45). However, not everyone follows these scripts which just adds to the complexity of communication between us all.

2. The pitch of a sound depends on the ____of the sound wave.

3. Some animals, like humans, have two eyes on the front of the head that perceive a mostly overlapping visual field. In contrast, some herbivores (rabbits, for example) have eyes on the sides of their head and visual fields that may not overlap at all. How does this impact perception of the environment?

Humans have poorer depth perception and a wider field of vision than rabbits.

Due to integration by the brain, there is really no difference in depth perception or visual field size when comparing humans to rabbits.
