Senses Challenge

However, the questions were very straight and addressed directly. There was no calculation in the test that would make a person think. Even a layman can take the test because it just contains some questions and one has to click the right checkbox according to his preferences.

As he states, “[one can see it as] a glass cube, there an upturned open box, there a wire frame of that shape, the three boards forming a solid angle […] we can also see the illustration now as one thing, now as another.—So we interpret it, and see it as we interpret it” (PI II).

This stereograph of the Central Pacific Railroad would have appeared three-dimensional when viewed through special glasses.

Step #12- Repeat step 10, but instead of pulling the string to the number 45 pull it to the number 20.

Sense perception is a way to gain information by using our sense: touch, feel, taste, see, hear, and smell, it is a way of knowing. When it comes to ways of knowing, like sense perception, it is questionable whether or not it affects us in a positive or negative way. It can be argued if it is leading us in the wrong direction. If you see it, do you believe it?

Angelina is five years old. For the first test Angelina said the smaller container had more water in it, “because the waters way up here (pointing to the smaller container) but it’s down her in the other one (pointing to the wider container)”. The second experiment she caid the flattened playdough had more because “it’s a big circle”. The third experiment Angelina said that both the stack and the row had the same amount “because 5 and 5”. It surprised me that she made sure to count both sections unlike Kyng who only counted the row. The fourth and last test Angelina said the string that was balled “because if you stretch it out it's the biggest one”. Her response to this question surprised me because I assumed that she would answer that the string that was already stretched out would be longer because it is visibly longer at that moment. When I asked Angelina, “Why does the sunshine” she responded, “When the sun goes up that means it’s time to wake up.” When I asked her, “Why is there snow?” she responded, “because when it’s Christmas sometimes snow comes out”. The third question Angelina did believe that I could see her when she closed her eyes. This also did not surprise me because I have had conversations before we started the experiment she had squinted her eyes and we were talking about what we could see and what she could see, so I assumed that she would have that answer. When I asked her “how many

Rowett is a 74-year-old former entertainer at kids' parties who has taken his love and knowledge of toys and tricks and used it to create his popular Grand Illusions YouTube channel that boasts over 540,000 subscribers. On his channel, viewers will be mesmerized watching him do optical illusion

            According to popular belief, in order to believe something, it has to be seen. Resnick does a beautiful job of showcasing experiments and making the audience fall for what he states by using factual studies. He uses Van Bavel’s experiment in which he showed just how easy it was to

Since the picture is somewhat blurry, it was hard to determine the start and endpoint when measuring the distance between things. For example, when measuring the distance from head to toe of the top guy it was hard to determine where his feet stopped. This resulted in an educated guess of where the bottom of his feet would be located.To correct this we could take multiple measurements of the same situation and then average them. That way we would have a more accurate depiction of the measurement.

Upon viewing the various illusions from either website, my brain became surprised at what it couldn't comprehend. Throughout adolescent years, similar versions of these optical illusions were often used as tools for teaching young students about perception, myself included. Unlike the other illusions, the young and elderly woman is an image that I was able to easily recognize. Therefore, the image of the young and elderly woman being familiar to me, allowed my brain's perception to see both of the images. However, the turning of the Charlie Chaplain mask presented me with the utmost difficulty. Regrettably, I was unable to alter my perception of the mask as it rotated on the screen, and was 'forced' into seeing the solitary mask as two opposed

As we age, our senses often decline. Unfortunately, as the senses deteriorate, it can affect our psychological well-being. This often comes as a surprise to loved ones, as is the case with Athena. Athena’s mother, Dorothy, is experiencing a very normal period in her life; her hearing and vision have declined, and she has begun withdrawing from most social interaction. This withdrawal is likely the direct result of her hearing and vision deterioration because losing these abilities can make interaction difficult, complicated, and even frustrating. This is understandable when we consider the impact of diminished senses in something as simple as conversation. In Dorothy’s case, she probably has difficulty hearing other people’s words when in
