Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

1.7K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

Gestalt Principles of Perception01:21

Gestalt Principles of Perception

382
Gestalt principles provide a framework for understanding how humans perceive objects as unified wholes within their context. These principles are essential in explaining the cognitive processes that make sense of complex visual stimuli by organizing them into coherent groups. One fundamental principle is proximity, which posits that objects located close to each other are perceived as a collective group. For instance, when dots are positioned near one another, the visual system interprets them...

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision01:15

Depth Perception and Spatial Vision

812
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.

Perceptual Constancy01:12

Perceptual Constancy

487
Perceptual constancy is the ability to recognize that objects remain consistent and unchanged even when their appearance varies due to changes in sensory input. There are four main types of perceptual constancy: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy, and brightness constancy.
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...

Attribution Theory00:56

Attribution Theory

13.1K
Behavior is a product of both the situation (e.g., cultural influences, social roles, and the presence of bystanders) and of the person (e.g., personality characteristics). Subfields of psychology tend to focus on one influence or behavior over others. Situationism is the view that our behavior and actions are determined by our immediate environment and surroundings. In contrast, dispositionism holds that our behavior is determined by internal factors (Heider, 1958).

Visual Agnosia01:12

Visual Agnosia

268
Visual agnosia is a condition characterized by the inability to recognize visually presented objects despite having normal vision. For instance, a person with visual agnosia can describe the shape and color of an object but cannot identify or name it. This impairment does not affect their visual field, acuity, color vision, brightness discrimination, language, or memory. An example of this condition in a social setting is someone at a dinner party asking for "that silver thing with a round...

Summary

Sense of agency influences visual anticipation. Participants

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Human-Computer Interaction

Background:

  • Sense of agency (SoA) research shows authorship affects action-effect estimation.
  • Limited research explores agency's impact on perception itself.
  • Social factors influence visual anticipation and SoA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate how agency influences visual anticipation of movement.
  • Examine the modulating effect of social affordances on agency-perception link.
  • Propose an updated model of agency processing.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized the Representational Momentum paradigm.
  • Manipulated participant agency in virtual agent interactions (handshake gesture).
  • Varied social interaction parameters (distance, posture) in Experiment 2.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Experiment 1: Greater forward movement anticipation when participants controlled the agent.
  • Experiment 2: Backward anticipation when the computer controlled the agent; null anticipation when participants controlled it.
  • Agency's effect on anticipation is modulated by social context.

Conclusions:

  • Active involvement and environmental affordances interact to shape perception.
  • Demonstrated that agency's influence on visual anticipation is context-dependent.
  • Proposed an updated model integrating agency, social factors, and perception.
