Luisa, Jackie and Raquel's Perception Questions:
1. Mary has been staring at Bob all week in psych class. She is at a
cocktail party on Friday night and across the room she sees a boy with
brown hair like Bob. She starts to walk over to him but when she gets
closer she realizes it’s not Bob. What does this illustrate?
a. cocktail party phenomenon
b. perceptual set
c. binocular disparity
d. motion parallax
(answer = b)
2. We know the blue circle is in front of the green rectangle because
of:
picture: http://www.vrarchitect.net/anu/ivr/sight/image/oclusion.png
a. texture gradient
b. relative size
c. interposition
d. looming
(answer = c)
3. In this picture, what is the figure and what is the ground?
picture: http://cdn1.1stwebdesigner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/optical-illusion-faces-chalice1.jpg
a. the cup is the figure, the people are the ground
b. the people are the figure, the cup is the ground
c. could be either a or b depending on the way you see it
d. it is neither
(answer = c)

** correct answer
1) My mom called me while she was driving through a bad cell zone, so
the connection kept breaking up. But, i still understood that she
needed me to pick up my brother from his soccer practice. What
explains this?
A) perceptual constancy
B) accomodation
C) phonemic restoration **
D) morphemic constancy
E) Law of Pragnanz
2) Stephanie failed her driving test because she was conviced that the
white dashes on the road were only two feet long, when in reality they
are 10 feet long. What made her perceie that the dashes were only two
feet long?
A) bibocular disparity
B) motion parallax**
C) binocular fusion
D) convergence
E) stroboscopic movement
3) When Jose was three years old, he was separated from his mother at
a street fair and proceeded to grab the hand of a nearby woman with
blonde curly hair like his mother's. What made him perceive this woman
to be his mother?
A) shape constancy
B) size constancy

D) perceptual constancy
E) bottom-up processing
