Brian J. Piper, Ph.D.

Goals
• Sensation• Perception• Myth: Perception = Sensation
• Reality: Perception ≠ Sensation
![Page 3: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Terminology
• Sensation: the process by which sensory receptors receives stimulus energy from our environment
• Perception: the process of organizing & interpreting sensory information
![Page 4: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Psychophysics
• the study of the relationship between the physical characteristics of stimuli & our psychological experiences
• jnd: minimum difference a person can detect between two stimuli
• Weber’s Law: 2 stimuli must differ by a proportion (light: 8%, weight: 2%, tone: 0.3%)
1795-1878

Below jnd (Subliminal)
• A double-blind study had volunteers listen to tapes for 4 weeks (memory or self-esteem).
• Self-reported memory and self-esteem was measured before and after listening.

Predicted Results
• This study has four groups (Label/Material)– Self-Esteem/Self-Esteem; Memory/Memory; Self-
Esteem/Memory; Memory/Self-Esteem• What impact, if any, will the labels have?• In terms of Memory, please rank them from
highest (best) to lowest.• In terms of Self-Esteem, please rank them
from highest to lowest.

Interpretation
Greenwald et al. (1991). Psychological Science, 2, 119-122.
• People that want to improve, improve.• No benefits of subliminal messages consistent
with their advertised intent.

The Eye
![Page 14: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parts of the eye
1. Cornea: Transparent tissue where light enters the eye.
2. Iris: Muscle that expands and contracts to change the size of the opening (pupil) for light.
3. Lens: Focuses the light rays on the retina.
4. Retina: Contains sensory receptors that process visual information and sends it to the brain.
![Page 15: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Retina
Retina: The light-sensitive inner surface of the
eye, containing receptor rods and cones in
addition to layers of other neurons (bipolar, ganglion
cells) that process visual information.
![Page 16: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Optic Nerve, Blind Spot & Fovea
http://www.bergen.org
Optic nerve: Carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Blind Spot: Point where the optic nerve leaves the eye because there are no receptor cells located there. Fovea: Central point in the retina around which the eye’s cones cluster.
![Page 17: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Test your Blind Spot
Use your textbook. Close your left eye, and fixate your right eye on the black dot. Move the page towards your eye and away from
your eye. At some point the car on the right will disappear due to a blind spot.

Photoreceptors
E.R. Lewis, Y.Y. Zeevi, F.S Werblin, 1969
![Page 19: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic “Theory”
• Physician/Physicist Thomas Young & Hermann von Helmholtz predicted that the eye would have three kinds of color receptors.
1773-1829
1821-1894
“Whoever in the pursuit of science, seeks after immediate practical utility may rest assured that he seeks in vain.”

Color Blindness
Ishihara Test
Genetic disorder in which people are blind to green or red colors. This supports the
Trichromatic specialization of cones.

Visual Information Processing
Optic nerves connect to the thalamus in the middle of the brain, and the thalamus
connects to the visual cortex.
![Page 22: Introductory Psychology: Sensation & Perception (Vision)](https://reader038.fdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102813/546fb488af7959ef498b4569/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Feature Detection
Nerve cells in the visual cortex respond to specific features, such as edges, angles,
and movement.

Visual Information Processing
Processing of several aspects of the stimulus simultaneously is called parallel
processing. The brain divides a visual scene into subdivisions such as color, depth, form,
movement, etc.

Grouping & Reality
Although grouping principles usually help us construct reality, they may occasionally lead us
astray.

Depth Perception
Visual Cliff
Depth perception enables us to judge distances. Gibson and Walk (1960)
suggested that human infants (crawling age) have depth perception. Even newborn
animals show depth perception.

two corners of the room.
