 KINDS OF PERCEPTION & SPATAIL PERCEPTION

 What is Perception?
 Perception in psychology can be defined as the analysis of sensory
information within the brain.
 As we go through our day, we are surrounded by the rich stimuli of
modern life and we rely heavily on our sight to inform us of where we
are placed within this world.
 Through perception we obtain a description of our surroundings and
what they mean.

Perception is not a passive activity.

Examples of Perception:

An example of perception is the way children view objects differently

as they develop. Early on, they only perceive individual shapes and
objects, while they are later capable of recognizing relationships
between objects.
  Kinds of Perception?

 Different types of Perception …

 Amodal perception

 Color perception

 Depth perception

 Form perception

 Haptic perception

 Speech perception

 Perception as Interpretation

 Pitch perception

1: Amodal Perception:

Amodal perception was first discovered as a property of

perception, where it occurs so unconsciously and effortlessly that we tend
not to notice it at all. For example if we view two pencils crossed, one pencil
occluding the other, the occluded pencil has a great gap of missing data, and
yet we perceive that pencil as complete and continuous through the
occlusion. Furthermore, we only see the exposed side of each pencil as a
colored hemi-cylindrical surface, and yet we perceive each pencil as a whole
cylindrical form, complete through its invisible volume all the way to its
hidden rear surfaces. The modal percept appears as a colored surface,
whereas the amodal percept appears as a solid volume occupying a specific
region of space, where it is perceived, but remains completely invisible.

2: Color Perception:
o A person views an opaque colored object, it is only the light reflected
from the object that can activate the visual process in the eye and brain.
o Because different illuminants have different spectral energy
distributions, a given object in these illuminations will reflect different
energy distributions.
o Yet the eye and brain are such superb systems that they are able to
compensate for such differences, and normal-appearing colors are
perceived, a phenomenon called color constancy.
3: Depth Perception:

Depth perception is the visual ability to perceive the world in three

dimensions (3D) and the distance of an object. ... Binocular cues include
stereopsis, eye convergence, disparity, and yielding depth from binocular
vision through exploitation of parallax.

4: Form Perception:

Form perception is the recognition of visual elements of objects,

specifically those to do with shapes, patterns and previously identified important
characteristics. ... During visual processing information is not created, but rather
reformatted in a way that draws out the most detailed information of the stimulus.
5: Haptic Perception:

Haptic perception means literally the ability "to grasp

something". Perception in this case is achieved through the active
exploration of surfaces and objects by a moving subject, as opposed to
passive contact by a static subject during tactile perception.

6: Speech Perception:

Speech perception is the process by which the sounds of language are

heard, interpreted and understood. The study of speech perception is closely
linked to the fields of phonology and phonetics in linguistics and cognitive
psychology and perception in psychology.
7: Pitch Perception:

Speech Perception & Word Recognition The problem of perceiving

meaning in speech is one of the most challenging problems in cognitive
science.

 Spatial Perception :

Spatial perception is the ability to be aware of your

relationships with the environment around you (exteroceptive processes)

and with yourself (interceptive processes). Spatial awareness is made up

of two processes, the exteroceptives, which create representations about

our space through feelings, and interceptive processes, which create

representations about our body, like its position or orientation. Space is

what surrounds us: objects, elements, people, etc.
