Background on visual object recognition x5
|
- perception - visual stimuli - previous knowledge - object recognition - pattern recognition
|
7 parts of the visual system
|
- distal stimulus- proximal stimulus - retina- sensory memory - iconic memory - visual sensory memory - occipital lobe - primary visual cortex - inferotemporal cortex
|
What type of psychology is this: figure, or whole entity ground with ambiguous figure-ground relationship
|
Gestalt psychology
|
2 explanations for figure-ground reversal
|
1. adaptation of neurons in visual cortex2. people try to solve the visual paradox
|
Another word for illusory contours
|
Subjective contours
|
Two stages of illusory contours
|
1.) early stages of processing2.) later stages of processing
|
3 theories of visual object recognition
|
- template matching theory - feature analysis theory - the recognition by components theory
|
- consists of templates- compare stimulus to templates until a match is found - most simplest but incomplete theory
|
Template - matching theory
|
Problem with the template matching theory
|
- inflexible - only works for isolated letters, numbers, objects
|
Has distinctive features i- recognizes letters and numbers on envelopes
|
Feature analysis theory
|
Research that decides if two letters are different
|
Eleanor Gibson's research
|
What researches have been done on the feature analysis theory
|
Eleanor Gibson's research Hubel and Wiesel's research
|
What research consists of single-cell recording techniques, orientation of a visual stimulus, primary visual cortex and feature detectors
|
Hubel and wiesel's research
|
What is the problems with feature- analysis approach
|
- doesnt account for the relationship between features- doesnt explain recognition of more complex objects
|
This theory consists of combining geons to form objects and the structural theory.
|
The recognition-by- components theory
