Hypothesis Testing ↔️ Formulating and testing perceptual hypotheses
What is the role of preconceived notions in perception according to Gregory's theory?
Influence perception
According to Gregory's Constructivist Theory, perception involves formulating and testing perceptual hypotheses
Expectations are based on preconceived notions and influence perception.
What does the brain infer when it sees a shadow under a 3D box?
Depth
Prior knowledge plays no role in Gregory's Constructivist Theory.
False
Prior knowledge acts as a framework for interpreting sensory data.
Match the roles of prior knowledge with their descriptions:
Expectation Formation ↔️ Predicting what we might experience
Interpretation ↔️ Assigning meaning to sensory data
Filtering ↔️ Focusing on relevant information
What is the formula for expectation formation in perception?
Expectation=PriorKnowledge+SensoryInput
Inference in perception combines sensory data and prior knowledge to form a meaningful interpretation.
Inference allows us to fill in missing sensory information based on past experiences.
What is the first step in forming a perceptual hypothesis?
Sensory input
Order the steps involved in the process of forming a perceptual hypothesis:
1️⃣ Sensory Input
2️⃣ Prior Knowledge
3️⃣ Hypothesis Formation
4️⃣ Testing
5️⃣ Acceptance/Rejection
Perception can be mathematically represented as Perception=SensoryInput+PriorKnowledge−Error, where error represents the difference between expectation and reality.
What is the role of interpretive inference in constructivism?
Fill gaps and predict
Interpretive inference involves making predictions based on prior knowledge to understand incomplete sensory data.
Match the components of Gregory's Constructivist Theory with their descriptions:
Inference ↔️ Recognizing a face from a partial view
Expectation ↔️ Seeing a blurry image and assuming it's familiar
Hypothesis Testing ↔️ Adjusting perception based on new visual cues
What example is given to illustrate the role of shadows in inferring depth?
3D box
What does Gregory's Constructivist Theory suggest about perception?
It is an active process
Gregory's Constructivist Theory suggests perception uses prior knowledge and expectations
