Visual Perception Of Visual Processing

I really enjoyed reading the chapter about interpersonal perception. I didn’t realize until after reading chapter four there were so many different aspects to the interpersonal perception process. It was really interesting figuring out some of these interpersonal perception aspects that apply to my life. The three terms I would like to discuss in this paper are overattributing positively bias and negativity bias.

The purpose of the study was to measure the effect that the Flicker Paradigm had on visual perception. The Flicker Paradigm causes a distraction while there is a change made in the image. It was designed to test how long the groups took to react to a change in the visual field. The test is meant to show that the disturbance in the visual field made it much more challenging for the viewer to notice any changes that were made in the image. The hypothesis stated that the experimental group, the group using the Flicker Paradigm, would take longer to notice the change in the visual field than the control group, which had no flicker between the altered images. This is because the disturbance in the visual field caused the brain to miss the change that was made to the image because the information was deemed as unimportant. The majority of the perceived changes occurred in the background of the scene, and were considered minor in reference to the whole scene. This was proven true from the data collected, and coincided with previous tests. (Rensink, R. A. 2000). The data in tables 1.1 and 1.3 shows the individual participant data for the test with a flicker for both tests one and two. Tables 1.2 and 1.4 represent the individual results for the tests with no flicker, or the control group. Graphs 1.1 and 1.2 showed the relationship between the time taken to recognize alterations in the images. The data was taken from the average time to recognize the change from all

According to research, the earliest experimental change blindness is developed from the phenomena such as eye movements and more on working memory. It depends on the personal attention to the images they perceive (MacWhinney, 2001). Although individual have well informed and good memory on whether or not they have perceived an image, they also have poor recalling ability especially on the smaller details that are presented in that image. This is evidently through presentation of the complex pictures that are stimulated

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.

Perception checking is a cooperative approach to communication that provides accuracy instead of assuming our first interpretation is correct. It minimizes defensiveness through face saving and requires both nonverbal and verbal elements to match. The benefits of perception checking is to help us have a better understanding of a message, so both persons can mutually relate and to reduce conflict so we don 't jump to conclusions. In the perception process reality is constructed in two ways. The first order realities is physically observable qualities of a thing or situation. For example, if your friend calls you a “bone head”. On the other hand, second order realities cannot reside in objects or events but rather in our minds. It involves our attaching meaning to first order things or situations. For instance, your friend is being critical is an example of second order realities. Perception checking has three parts: description, interpretation, and clarification. Description is describing a behavior that was noticed. Interpretation is providing interpretations of the behavior, Lastly, ask for clarification from the person about the behavior and interpretations. These three parts are important because they help an individual how to prevent assuming something that is probably not the intention of the other person which is why clarification is needed in a situation like this. It is better to gather more information about the situation then to think the

Researchers do differ on their perspectives on change blindness depending upon their method approach and background or field; however literature is largely in an agreed consensus as to what change blindness is and its effects on attention. Change blindness is studied by using the methodology of change detection, which is where participants are shown two stimuli that are

Visual representations are understood through visual perceptual skills, which is the ability to interpret the information and construct meaning out if it (Advanced Vision Therapy Center, n.d.). In Ancient Greece, only elites could afford art, therefore Greek visual representations portrayed the elites’ ideology. It is a cycle of reinforcement where social and cultural values were represented through art works that played a major role in Greeks’ everyday life. The constant appearance of these values in each Greeks’ visual perception creates a reflection that further strengthens such values. One of the major sociocultural values was the enforcement of gender roles where women were inferior and dangerous to men due to their sexuality. A

Although the little girl in this picture is very cute, I did make some observations right off the bat. The first three things that I observe in this picture is that the little girls finger is in her nose, it looks like an older type of picture, and it seems that she is getting a professional picture taken. Her finger in her nose demonstrates that she is a young child and she is most likely trying to be funny or she is getting bored with sitting there. She looks like she is about kindergarten age so it does not seem untypical for her finger to be in her nose. I notice it seems to be an older picture. Things that make me think this is even though it is in color it is in a shade of pink. When I say this, I mean that there isn't much difference

ABSTRACT: This investigation entailed the study of wether gender will affect the reaction times when tested. The average visual reaction time for a human is 0.25 seconds (250 milliseconds) and the average touch reception is 0.15 seconds (150 milliseconds), adding both these figures gives and estimated group time of 0.40 seconds (400 milliseconds). The average reaction speed for the boys was 342 and the average reaction speed for the girls was 392, in relation to average reaction speed these results are quite accurate as the age bracket was younger and smaller than the expected averages for humans.This investigation is well related to society as the measurement of visual reaction time has been used to evaluate the processing speed of Central Nervous System and the co-ordination between the sensory and motor systems, when shown a visual stimulus.

79). They go on to mention that the reason cited most often as reason for change blindness is that the second scene overwrites the first scene, from the 2000 study from Enns & Di Lollo. Even though “people can monitor between one and four items for change”(Luck & Vogel, 1997), Treisman & Gelade in 1980 said that attention is needed to bind features to objects and Resnick (2000) said that we needed that attention to “encode a coherent representation”. Even then, Resnick says those representations are “highly volatile” can be overwritten with new information

The goal of this paper is to focus on how gender affects what people see in optical illusions. The differences of male and female brains affect how boys and girls act and perceive the world. If there’s a difference in the vision of boys and girls then there will probably be a difference in how they see an optical illusion. Studies show that there are multiple differences in the male and female brain. There are different types of optical illusions, but this paper is mainly about ambiguous illusions because that is what will be used in the experiment. Ambiguous illusions are pictures with multiple images in them. Evidence

The analysis of RTs (reaction time) and error are measured by Age X Target visual field. The resutls indicated that older adults had longer RTs toward the targets in the lower visual field (LVF) than the targets in the upper visual field (UVF). The RTs provided no evidence of interactions within the visual fields because the targets either appered in the UVF or in LVF. The targets were not present in both fields at the same time. The Rts had shorter redundent- target trials than the single-target trials because the processing time is determined how fast and quick the channel in each trial are. This effect is known as statistical faciliation. The redundant target reduce error rates, and displays with clutter had higher errror rates than the no-clutter display. Older adults showed more interaction of clutter than young children. However, there was no evidence of speed accuracy, but suprisingly the capacity appeared to be larger for older adults in clutered conditions and for targets farther in the retinal

The following experiment conducted goes into detail about the influence of gender on pareidolia. Pareidolia is the “tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). With this in mind, a hypothesis was generated to create a testable experiment. If a female subject is tested, then the time it takes for the obscurity to be found will be decreased when time for finding obscurities is a function of gender. The experiment began by gathering 30 test subjects-- 15 girls and 15 boys. All the subjects ages ranged from 14-18 years of age. Individually, each subject was taken into a quiet room and was given instruction to identify the obscurity within the image as quickly as possible.

When your baby could talk, you may likely having similar arguing about everything you and she see because adults and babies brains are very different in ways to interpret images.
