COLOR• A psychological
interpretation• Based on
wavelength, amplitude, and purity• Humans can
discriminate among c. 10 million colors• Variations are a
result of mixing…

COLOR• Subtractive mixing:
removing some wavelengths of light, leaving less light than was originally there• Additive color:
superimposing lights, putting more light in the mixture than exists in any one light itself

TRICHROMATIC THEORY OF COLOR VISION• Holds that the
human eye has 3 types of receptors with differing sensitivities to different light wavelengths• Helmholtz: red,
green, and blue---the primary colors
![Page 5: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
COLOR BLINDNESS• Encompasses a
variety of deficiencies in the ability to distinguish among colors• More frequent in
males• Most are dichromats

OPPONENT PROCESS THEORY OF COLOR VISION• Holds that color
perception depends on receptors that make antagonistic responses to 3 pairs of colors• Complementary colors:
colors that produce gray tones when mixed together• Afterimage: a visual
image that persists after a stimulus is removed

RECONCILING THEORIES OF COLOR VISION
• It takes both theories to explain color vision• George Wald: eye has 3
types of cones---trichromatic theory• DeValois: cells
throughout the eye respond in opposite ways to red vs. green and blue vs. yellow---opponent process
![Page 14: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PERCEIVING FORMS, PATTERNS, AND OBJECTS• Reversible figure: a
drawing that is compatible w/2 interpretations that can shift back and forth
• Demonstrates same visual input can result in radically different perceptions
• Perceptual set: a readiness to perceive a stimulus in a particular way
![Page 15: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
FEATURE ANALYSIS• The process of
detecting specific elements in visual input and assembling them into a more complex form
![Page 16: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
BOTTOM-UP/TOP-DOWN• Bottom-up
processing: a progression from individual elements to the whole• Top-down processing:
a progression from the whole to the elements
![Page 17: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
LOOKING AT THE WHOLE: GESTALT PRINCIPLES
• The whole can be more than the sum of its parts• Phi phenomenon: the
illusion of movement created by presenting visual stimuli in rapid succession
![Page 18: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
GESTALT PRINCIPLES• Figure and ground:
figure is thing being looked at and ground is the background• Figures have more
substance and shape, and appear closer
![Page 19: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
GESTALT PRINCIPLES• Proximity: things near one
another seem to belong together• Similarity: we group things
that are similar• Continuity: tendency to
follow the direction you are led• Simplicity: organize in
simplest way possible• Closure: group in order to
create completeness
![Page 20: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
FORMULATING PERCEPTUAL HYPOTHESES• Distal stimuli: stimuli that
lie in the distance (outside the body)• Proximal stimuli: the
stimulus energies that impinge directly on sensory receptors• Perceptual hypothesis: an
inference about which distal stimuli could be responsible for the proximal stimuli sensed
![Page 21: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PERCEIVING DEPTH AND DISTANCE
• Depth perception: interpretation of visual cues that indicate how near or far away objects are• We rely on different
clues classified in 2 types…
![Page 22: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
BINOCULAR CUES• Def: clues about distance based on the differing views of the 2
eyes• Principle depth cue is retinal disparity: the fact that objects
within 25 ft project images to slightly different locations on the right and left retinas, so the right and left eyes see slightly different views of the object
• Another cue is convergence: sensing the eyes converging toward each other as they focus on closer objects
![Page 23: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MONOCULAR CUES• Def: clues about
distance based on the image in either eye alone• Motion parallax:
images of objects at different distances moving across the retina at different rates
![Page 24: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MONOCULAR CUES• Pictorial depth cues:
clues about distance that can be given in a flat picture• Includes linear
perspective, texture gradients, interposition, relative size, height in plane, and light and shadow
![Page 25: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
PERCEPTUAL CONSTANCIES IN VISION• Perceptual
constancy: a tendency to experience a stable perception in the face of continually changing sensory input
![Page 26: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
OPTICAL ILLUSIONS• Def: an apparently
inexplicable discrepancy btwn the appearance of a visual stimulus and its physical reality• Müller-Lyer Illusion• Ponzo Illusion• Shepard Illusion• Ames Room
![Page 27: VIEWING THE WORLD IN COLOR](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061602/5681641e550346895dd5daeb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IMPOSSIBLE FIGURES• Def: objects that can
be represented in 2 dimensional pictures but cannot exist in 3 dimensional space
