Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

2.0K
Depth perception is the ability to perceive objects three-dimensionally. It relies on two types of cues: binocular and monocular. Binocular cues depend on the combination of images from both eyes and how the eyes work together. Since the eyes are in slightly different positions, each eye captures a slightly different image. This disparity between images, known as binocular disparity, helps the brain interpret depth. When the brain compares these images, it determines the distance to an object.

Self-Schemas

36.4K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

The Sense of Self: Reflected Self-Appraisal and Social Comparison

56.1K
According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...

Social Proof

Social proof is a form of persuasion based on comparison and conformity. People compare their behavior and actions to what others are doing and will change to conform to do what their peers do.

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Summary

Boundary extension (BE), the tendency to recall scenes as larger than they were, is reduced by visual context. However, this effect is not observed with very brief scene exposures.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Visual Perception
  • Memory Studies

Background:

  • Boundary extension (BE) describes the memory for scenes exceeding their original visual boundaries.
  • BE is attributed to both external visual cues and internal information like conceptual knowledge.
  • The influence of top-down expectations on BE has been theoretically proposed but experimentally underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally investigate how visual context influences boundary extension (BE).
  • To examine the effect of scene exposure duration on the relationship between visual context and BE.
  • To determine if contextual preview affects BE during initial visual processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a preexposure phase to establish visual context for scenes before memorization.
  • Employed the camera distance paradigm to measure boundary extension.
  • Manipulated scene exposure duration (long: 15s, short: brief fixation) in two experiments.

Main Results:

  • Preexposure to a larger spatial framework significantly decreased BE in the long exposure condition.
  • Participants in the preexposure group showed reduced directional memory errors.
  • BE was not modulated by contextual preview during very brief presentation durations (first fixation).

Conclusions:

  • Visual context, established through preexposure, can effectively reduce boundary extension.
  • The influence of contextual information on BE appears dependent on sufficient encoding time.
  • Findings suggest that early visual processing stages may not be sufficient to modulate BE via contextual preview.
