24. PerceptionPerception

25. General Properties of Sensory SystemsGeneral Properties of Sensory Systems
 Sensation: Process of detecting physical energies with
sensory organs
 Perception: Mental process of organizing sensations into
meaningful patterns
 Data Reduction System: Any system that selects, analyzes,
and condenses information
 Sensory Coding: Converting important features of the world
into neural messages understood by the brain

26. Gestalt Principles of OrganizationGestalt Principles of Organization
 This states how we organize bits and pieces of information
into meaningful wholes.
 Nearness: Stimuli that are near each other tend to be
grouped together
 Similarity: Stimuli that are similar in size, shape, color, or
form tend to be grouped together
 Closure: Tendency to complete a figure so that it has a
consistent overall form

27. Visual PerceptionVisual Perception
 Process used to organize sensory impressions
caused by the light that strikes our eyes
 Sensation is a automatic process
 Perception is an active process
– Involves experience, expectations and motivations

28.  Visual perception of motion is based on change
of position relative to other objects
 Illusions of movement
– Stroboscopic motion (class discussion, how do we
know that a train moves?)
Perception of MotionPerception of Motion

29. FIGURE 4.41 The apparent motion of objects viewed during travel depends on their
distance from the observer. Apparent motion can also be influenced by an
observer’s point of fixation. At middle distances, objects closer than the point of
fixation appear to move backward; those beyond the point of fixation appear to
move forward. Objects at great distances, such as the sun or moon, always appear
to move forward.
