Front
What is top-down processing in vision?
Back
Top-down processing uses context, expectations, knowledge, and current goals to help interpret sensory input.
03
Front
How does visual organization turn light patterns into candidate objects?
Back
The visual system separates regions, assigns borders to figures, groups elements, and parses wholes into parts.
04
Front
What can proximity do to nearby visual elements?
Back
Nearby dots may be perceived as a group, illustrating how proximity can organize visual elements.
05
Front
How can the visual system perceive a partly hidden object?
Back
A partly hidden object may still appear continuous behind an obstruction, helping the visual system form a candidate object.
06
Front
Name visual properties that provide bottom-up grouping evidence.
Back
A contour, alignment, or shared color provides bottom-up evidence that visual elements may belong together.
07
Front
How can context help recognize a blurred object?
Back
Stored knowledge and context help recognition narrow possible identities; a blurred handled object in a kitchen is more likely to be identified as a toaster.
08
Front
What is scene gist?
Back
Scene gist is a rapid, broad impression of an environment, such as a kitchen, street, or forest.
09
Front
How do typical object relationships guide visual recognition?
Back
Typical object relationships guide recognition: a toaster is likely on a counter, and a car is likely on a road.
10
Front
What do likelihood and prior contribute to perception?
Back
Bayesian perception combines the likelihood—how well an interpretation fits visual evidence—with a prior—how plausible it is given context and past experience.
11
Front
How can a sequence change the reading of an ambiguous character?
Back
A shape between letters may be read as B, while the same shape between numbers may be read as 13; the surrounding sequence shifts the interpretation.
12
Front
How do scene and object recognition influence each other?
Back
Scene information can direct attention to likely locations, while recognized objects can refine the interpretation of the scene.
