vocabulary

4. a monocular depth cue that helps the brain infer the relative distances of objects in a scene
5. perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent color, brightness, shape, and size) even as illumination and retinal images change
8. a type of depth prompt that the human eye perceives when viewing two parallel lines that appear to meet at a distance
10. a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another
12. a depth cue, such as retinal disparity, that depends on the use of two eyes
15. a state of consciousness in which a person can respond to a stimulus or stimuli
17. a binocular cue for perceiving depth. By comparing retinal images from the two eyes, the brain computes distance — the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object
19. focusing conscious awareness on a particular stimulus
21. A sensation of movement in a context where neither the observer nor the stimulus are physically moving
23. personality, attitudes, values, interests, and attraction shared between to individuals
24. a type of monocular cue in which one object partially obscures or covers another object, giving the perception the object that is partially covered is farther away
26. the depth cue in which we perceive distance based on the comparison of sizes between objects

1. a depth cue, such as interposition or linear perspective, available to either eye alone
2. a phenomenon wherein the brain focuses a person's attention on a particular stimulus, usually auditory
3. an organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes
6. a cue to nearby objects’ distance, enabled by the brain combining retinal images
7. failing to notice changes in the environment; a form of inattentional blindness
9. information processing that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain’s integration of sensory information
11. information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations
13. a monocular depth cue where objects that appear sharper and clearer are perceived as closer
14. the organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground)
16. failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere
18. the feeling of resolution or completion after a problem, event, or situation
20. the process by which our brain organizes and interprets sensory information, enabling us to recognize objects and events as meaningful
22. the way relationships are formed between things close to one another
25. a concept or framework that organizes and interprets information
