The Recognition-By-Components theory of object recognition argues that we recognize object by…

Question 2 options:

 

comparing the complete object to templates stored in memory.

 

comparing a list of features about the object to the simple features that make up different objects.

 

perceiving the overall form of the object as one complete shape.

 

analyzing the arrangement of three-dimensional shapes that comprise the object.

 

 

 

 

Which of these would be an example of a top-down effect on smell perception?

Question 3 options:

 

If recognizing the smell of a lemon has nothing to do with visual or auditory input.

 

If the brain responds differently to lemon smells and orange smells.

 

If people are better able to identify a smell as lemon when they are looking at a picture of a lemon.

 

If the chemical structure of lemon scents differs from the chemical structure of orange scents.

 

 

 

 

The neurological condition prosopagnosia is often used as evidence that….

Question 4 options:

 

face perception is specialized, using different brain areas than recognition of other objects.

 

object recognition occurs by identifying the geons included within shapes.

 

most people recognize faces by analyzing each facial feature independently and then combining them.

 

face recognition is mostly dependent on top-down information.

 

 

 

Phonemic restoration effects in speech perception seem to be evidence that….

listeners have a special phonetic module that allows them to identify what words are being said.

people recognize words passively, relying only on the auditory information for each phoneme.
top-down information about what words are likely affects how we perceive speech sounds.
speech perception works because there is very little variability from one prodution to another.

 

 

 

 

Evidence of change blindness and inattentional blindness suggest that visual processing….

Question 7 options:

 

is an active process that uses prior knowledge to help guide perception.

 

is the least useful sensory process, since audition, taste, smell and touch are more accurate.

 

is carefully tuned to represent exactly what is being seen.

 

is highly inaccurate and results in constant errors about what a person is seeing.

 

Question 8 

 

Which of the following examples would be most comparable to the word superiority effect if we were to apply this phenomenon to hearing?

 

You have better memory for short words than for longer words.

 

You are faster to recognize a word when it’s spoken by someone the same gender as you.

 

You are faster to learn a foreign language when it has a lot of the same words as your first language.

 

You are better at recognizing a phoneme when it is embedded in a real word than when it is embedded in a nonsense word.
