Exam 4: Recognizing Visual Objects

Why is a scene viewed through venetian blinds or a many paned window seen as a unified whole rather than a series of unconnected rectangular shapes.

It has been suggested that topographic agnosia may be due to damage to

Border ownership is typically assigned to

The ground is typically seen as

According to the Gestalt principle of ,elements that move in unison are likely to be per- ceptually grouped.

The facial recognition approach that uses eigenfaces,eigeneyes,and eigenmouths is known as the approach.

Perceptual interpolation consists of two different operations: .

One hypothesis is that the fusiform face area processes any type of visual stimuli for which the viewer has expert recognition ability.Propose a neuroimaging study that could be used to inves- tigate this hypothesis.

A region perceived to be meaningful is perceived as the ,and a region that is convex (outward-going)is perceived as the .

Someone who suffers from visual agnosia

The approach to facial recognition limits the analyses to factors such as average width of eyes,height of upper lip,and width of mouth.

The holistic approach to facial recognition has an advantage over the feature-based approach since it considers

Evidence for the coding view comes from fMRI studies demonstrating the presence of the fusiform face area (FFA)
