 Object Perception
Perception is a process
of making sense out of the jumble of so
many sensations. As objects are grouped
into sequential patterns, the individual
easily organizes what he perceived into a
meaningful whole, and the result is a
unitary experience.
1. Figure ground
Principle
- The observer perceives a reversible
configuration wherein one sees the figure,
then the background, observing later that
the background seems to be the figure in
focus.
2. Principle of Similarity
- Stimuli of similar sizes, shapes and
even color tend to be grouped together.
3. Principle of Proximity
- The individual perceives stimuli near one
another
4. Principle of Closure
- The perceiver tends to complete an incomplete
object.
5. Principle of Continuity
- Any line or movements tends to be perceived as
continuing in the direction already started.
6. Principle of Constancy
- If objects are projected and have remained
essentially as themselves in size. Height. Shape,
and Color, regardless of the factors brought by the
different viewing conditions, perceptual
consistency is present.
Optical Cue
is the ability to distinguish length, width, and
depth.
Types of Cues :
1. Interposition - An object covers part of another
object and making the obscured object lose its
shape and therefore appears to be farther away
than it is
B. Quality of Sensation – the experience that
even within the same modality they differ too
from one another.
C. Intensity of a sensation – the distinction in
degree; the sensation may be stronger or more
intense that another sensation if the same
quality.
D. Duration of the sensation – indicates how
long a sensation actually lasts in the
E. Reaction time of a sensation – the interval that
elapses between the receiving of an impression by a
sense organ and the recognition of this impression
together with the subsequent outward manifestation of
this recognition.
III Levels of Sensation
A. Absolute threshold – The minimum physical energy
needed to activate a given sensory system.
B. Differential Threshold – the minimum amount of
stimulation needed to determine the difference
between two stimuli.
