According to Gibson, direct perception means that:
Perception is more important than sensation
Sensation and perception are completely different
Sensation is perception
We are born with no perceptual abilities
The optic array is:
The nerve connecting the eye with the brain
The visual cells at the back of the eye
Everything we can see at any one time
A visual cue to depth
Motion parallax is:
When closer objects move faster than distant ones
A binocular depth cue
An example of an optic array
A static visual cue
An important strength of Gibson’s theory is that it:
Explains how we fill in visual details according to what we expect
Is a good explanation of visual illusions
Explains how we have to learn depth perception
Is a good account of how we perceive objects in the real world
According to Gregory, perception is:
The same as sensation
A construction of the world around us
Mostly an innate ability
A direct process
Inference means that:
We have to go beyond what we see to make assumptions
Our perceptions are always accurate
We all see the world in the same ways
We don’t need our past experience to guide our perception
Cultural differences in perception show that:
Our expectations do not influence what we perceive
Perception is mostly direct
Perceptual abilities develop through experience
Perception is not a construction of the world
A weakness of Gregory’s theory is that it cannot explain:
How we ‘fill in the gaps’ in perception
Innate perceptual abilities
How visual illusions work
How we construct hypotheses about the visual environment
Which statement is the most accurate description of perception?
Detecting a stimulus in the environment
The experience of the world around us processed by our sensory receptors
Organisation and interpretation of sensory information about the world
How sensory receptors turn sounds, smells, sights etc into signals sent to the brain
