Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

90.2K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

14.7K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

36.6K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies02:09

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies

37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...

Cause and Effect01:53

Cause and Effect

10.9K
While variables are sometimes correlated because one does cause the other, it could also be that some other factor, a confounding variable, is actually causing the systematic movement in our variables of interest. For instance, as sales in ice cream increase, so does the overall rate of crime. Is it possible that indulging in your favorite flavor of ice cream could send you on a crime spree? Or, after committing crime do you think you might decide to treat yourself to a cone?

Summary

Perceiving statistical information from groups of objects in 3D is complex. Variability in physical angular size, not just distance, significantly impacts orientation perception in ensemble perception tasks.

Area of Science:

  • Visual Perception
  • Computational Neuroscience
  • Psychophysics

Background:

  • Ensemble perception involves extracting statistical summaries from object groups.
  • Understanding 3D ensemble perception, especially with stereopsis, is crucial but unclear.
  • Retinal (proximal) stimuli vary with depth despite similar object (distal) properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate how distal and proximal stimuli affect 3D ensemble perception of orientation.
  • Determine the influence of depth and stimulus variability on mean orientation discrimination.
  • Clarify the role of physical angular size, binocular disparity, and spatial frequency in 3D ensemble perception.

Main Methods:

  • Used Gabor patches in a stereoscopic environment to measure mean orientation discrimination thresholds.
  • Manipulated depth and stimulus properties (physical angular size, spatial frequency, disparity).
  • Analyzed threshold elevation related to depth expansion and stimulus variability.

Main Results:

  • Thresholds for mean orientation perception increased with depth expansion, particularly with clustered stimuli at different distances.
  • Variability in physical angular size had a greater impact on threshold elevation than binocular disparity or spatial frequency.
  • Similarity of distal stimuli contributed minimally to perception.

Conclusions:

  • Physical angular size variability is a critical factor in 3D ensemble orientation perception.
  • Retinotopic representation variations due to depth significantly influence ensemble perception.
  • The study clarifies the dominance of proximal cues like angular size variability over distal cues in 3D ensemble perception.
