Influences To Perception

Comparing Constructivist and Direct Theories of Visual Perception Two of the main theories of visual perception are constructivist and direct. Gregory is associated with the constructivist theory, while Gibson supports the direct theory. The both theories differ in their explanation of perception, however there are some aspects that relate them. Gregory's theory is a top down theory of perception, in the sense that he considers prior knowledge and experience to be crucially important in making sense of what we see.

As time goes on, eyewitness testimony has become more and more of a disputed topic due to many different factors. The first study I was exposed to was in an introductory psychology class which sparked my interest into the topic. For this reason, I chose to look at different demographics such as, gender and major, and see if those factors had any impact on the perception of eyewitness testimony. My main issues remained the same throughout this research project.

Change blindness is a phenomenon in attention where drastic changes to a scene can go unnoticed. This is important to the field of Human Sensation and Perception because it helps illustrate how a visual scene is processed. Specifically it shows how even if there is direct attention to a scene, there are times when drastic changes can occur without perception of the change occurring. With extensive research already conducted illustrating this effect, new research has recently been conducted studying different types of scene changes in the hopes of understanding which changes are easier or harder to notice. The results of these studies were quantified by the measurement of change detection time (usually reported in seconds). This subset of change blindness research has far-reaching practical applications, especially in the field of security and law enforcement. By applying the knowledge of which type of stimuli lead to longer change detection times training programs could be developed that allow this population to improve their observation skills.

The eye is immediately drawn to the incredible brightness on the left half of the image, showing the people who are going to be gunned down mercilessly as the viewer’s eye is further directed by the man’s undoubtedly distressed visage towards the very things threatening his life. The lack of color is apparent as it all feels very muted outside of the only source of light being placed on the men who are in danger. The darkness and tones of brown and gray on the soldiers in contrast to the very bright, and light tones of the one countryman and his compatriots appears to display a sort of good versus evil struggle going on. If your eyes are not instantly drawn to the illuminated men then it is very likely that the guns would command your awareness, being at the literal center of the image painting. The firearms pointed at the men can only signal severe negativity as you only ever point any type of gun at something you intend to shoot, and you only shoot if you intend to kill. The entire painting is very heart-rending as it depicts men taking other men’s lives for seemingly no reason at all.

There are a variety of elements to consider when entering any of these three environments, both at the macro level of the European Union (EU) and the meso level of the individual national context. An MNC penetrating the EU is required to take the common legislation across the countries into account while also still adapting the norms and laws of the individual national contexts in the EU.

Perspective and perception are very different things, but when you put them together, it can give us the best accounts of history. Perception is the understanding of an event through senses or mostly in this case, emotions. One person may have a totally different account of an event than another, solely based on their emotions or involvement from the event. Perspective is a particular attitude or view toward an event. This is mostly facts about the event, and is what is written down or recorded in texts or historical sources.

Every day people all over the world are executing perception or attention traits. This goes for everyone regardless of gender, race, age we all as humans engage in these act daily. “Attention is the process of concentrating on specific features of the environment or on certain thoughts or activities” (Goldstein, 2011). Think about it from newborns to adults regardless the age you are paying attention to something. A newborn can be paying attention to his or her mother while an adult is paying attention to their child. Perceptions comes from stimuli in the environment. “Perception is the process of recognizing, organizing, and interpreting information from senses” (Goldstein, 2011). The parts are identified and put together, and then recognition occurs. These are examples of direct perception theories. Constructive perception theories are when people put together something in their head on how something should go based on expectations or a previous memory. In the complexity of perception there are two process one being the bottom-up process and the top-down

When examining human behaviour each individual views the world in a different perspective; also known as perception. According to the Oxford dictionary, perception is “the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted” (2016). Understanding perception is an important concept for law enforcement officers when interviewing witnesses because individuals will watch the same event, but have a different interpretation of had occurred. Two individuals Angelica Lai (Lai) and Marieve Vachon (Vachon) observed the same video In-text citation here referring to the video involving property damage, and had to write a witness statement involving what they had witnessed. Both individuals had some similarities; however, there

Why does the presence of others improve performance? This is the very question that sparked one of the first experiments in the field of social psychology. Norman Triplett was a psychologist who enjoyed watching bicycle races. While observing the races, Triplett noticed that cyclists who competed against other cyclists finished with faster times than cyclists who competed against the clock. Triplett used this observation to launch a laboratory study in which he had several kids wind a fishing wheel as quickly as they could both in isolation and in the presence of others. What Triplett observed

Perspective versus perception, also thought of as palace versus pit (D. Ridley, personal communication, February 24, 2018). Perception provides us with an accurate understanding of a particular event at a specific moment, but if one sits in that perception, it can lead to cynicism. Perspective on the other hand, opts for a different view. It is an acknowledgement of “yes, I am in this moment right now, but there is always good in everything, so let me find it” type of moment. If a person chooses to live in a perceptional view, in actuality they are allowing their circumstance or situation to define them, and never seek a way out or to improve. Whereas, a person who chooses to live through their perspective view, gains control of self and

Perception is defined as how you look at others and the world around you. Being able to select, organize and intercept information starts the perceptual process. Perception affects the way people communicate with others. An individual’s pattern of thinking can affect their perception of others. Most people communicate best with people of similar cultures.

My project is over visual effects and how the eye works. This project was chosen because I have always wondered how the human eye works and Visual trickery. Also because sometimes some visual illusions are impossible to figure out and are really cool so I am very interested on how they work and how to create one on my own. How do visual illusions work on the human eye?

According to Gestalt psychology, perception is about what happens to information as we process it, not just about the information itself. The law of
