Question

what does texture gradient (relative clarity) tell you about distance of objects? draw a tongue and label the taste buds. you are riding down the road; what does motion parallax (relative motion) tell you about the mountains and the power poles? be specific with your answer. respond to the following (do not guess - think) 1. mr. harri_on is the gre_test teacher ever! -you can read this because of the gestalt principle of ____________ 2. mr. harrison may look small if you are in the back of the room, but you know he is still 57 because of __________ constancy 3. wouldnt you like to know what mr. harrison is thinking? __________ 4. i want a drink but dont feel like getting up, that is ok, i move it with my mind __________ 5. the grass in my yard is green, even at night __________ constancy 6. as i look down the road, it sure looks like the road is getting narrower. you perceive it getting narrower when you know it is not. this is because of linear __________ 7. i sure hope my child can see how far down that drop off is. ____________ why do we experience the phi phenomenon? what is stroboscopic motion? provide an example? what is the cocktail party effect?

Explanation:

1. The Gestalt principle of closure allows us to perceive a complete word or image even when parts are missing. So for "Mr. Harri_on is the Gre_test teacher ever!", we fill in the blanks to read it as a complete thought.
2. Size constancy means that we know an object's actual size remains the same despite changes in its retinal - image size due to distance. So Mr. Harrison's actual height is known despite looking smaller from the back of the room.
3. This relates to mind - reading or telepathy which is not a well - established psychological concept in mainstream psychology.
4. Moving an object with the mind is a concept related to psychokinesis, which is not scientifically proven.
5. Color constancy allows us to perceive the color of an object as stable despite changes in lighting conditions. So the grass is perceived as green even at night.
6. Linear perspective is a monocular cue for depth perception. The road appears to get narrower as it recedes into the distance due to this principle.
7. Depth perception is needed to judge how far down a drop - off is. The Phi phenomenon occurs when stationary objects are presented in rapid succession to create an illusion of motion. Stroboscopic motion is the perception of a series of still images as continuous motion, like in a flip - book or old - fashioned movie reels. The cocktail party effect is the ability to focus on a single auditory source in a noisy environment, like being able to have a conversation at a loud party.

For the texture gradient question, it is a monocular depth cue. Objects that are farther away have a more densely packed texture. For motion parallax, when riding down the road, nearby objects like power poles move past quickly and in the opposite direction of your motion, while distant objects like mountains move more slowly and in the same general direction as your motion. Drawing a tongue and labeling taste buds: The tongue has taste buds mainly on the papillae. There are four main types of papillae: circumvallate, fungiform, foliate, and filiform (filiform have no taste buds).

Answer:

1. Closure
2. Size
3. N/A (not a standard psychological concept in mainstream)
4. N/A (psychokinesis not proven)
5. Color
6. Perspective
7. Depth perception

Texture gradient: Objects farther away have more densely - packed texture.
Motion parallax: Nearby power poles move fast in opposite direction of motion; mountains move slowly in same general direction.
Phi phenomenon: Illusion of motion from rapid succession of stationary objects.
Stroboscopic motion: Perception of still images as continuous motion (e.g., flip - book).
Cocktail party effect: Ability to focus on single auditory source in noisy environment.
Tongue drawing: Draw a tongue with circumvallate, fungiform, foliate papillae having taste buds (filiform without taste buds).
