Example Questions
Example Question #1 : Experimental
Which of the following does not act as a cue for depth perception?
None of these
Dark adaptation
Interposition
Motion parallax
Binocular disparity
Dark adaptation
In 1709, George Berkeley noted various depth cues in the human visual system, including interposition, which refers to the depth cue wherein one object covers or overlaps with another object. A second cue is motion parallax wherein the disparity in speed and motion gives us cues about the relative depth of parts of the object. The last cue is binocular disparity, also known as stereopsis. This cue is linked to the fact that our different eyes provide us with two slightly different views of the world around us. When the brain adds together these two images, we get a perception of depth.
Example Question #2 : Sensation & Perception
Sensory integration can be best describe as which of the following?
None of these
The process of combining different sensory signals
A change in afference caused by external stimuli
When a mixture of lights add together and create the perception of color
A mathematical technique for computing definite integrals of one real variable
The process of combining different sensory signals
The correct answer is the process of combining different sensory signals. To give cause or equal opportunity to each sense and a mathematical technique for computing definite integrals of one real variable are answers that utilize the incorrect definition of integration for this problem. When a mixture of lights add together and create the perception of color is additive color mixture.
