- Explain how we use binocular and monocular cues to perceive the world in three dimensions, and discuss how we perceive motion.
- Explain how perceptual constancies help us construct meaningful perceptions.
- Describe what research on restored vision, sensory restriction, and perceptual adaptation reveals about experiences of perception.
- Slide Show
Module 22 Learning Targets:
- Discuss the characteristics of the energy that we see as visible light, and describe the structure in the eye that help focus that energy.
- Describe how the rods and cones process information, and explain the path information travels from the eye to the brain.
- Discuss how we perceive color in the world around us.
- Describe the location and function of feature detectors.
- Explain how the brain uses parallel processing to construct visual perceptions.
Vocabulary Module 22: All the words in pink in Module 22.
