In the Context of Neural Basis of Perceptual Interpolation, Von

question 1

Multiple Choice

In the context of neural basis of perceptual interpolation, von der Heydt et al. (1984) conducted experiments with monkeys to record the responses of single neurons in area V2. The figure shows four stimuli and four response patterns for neurons in area V2. These recordings suggest that there is a neural basis for the representation of:

• A) illusory contours.
• B) image clutter.
• C) variable views.
• D) surfaces.

Definitions:

Partial Report Method

A technique in cognitive psychology where participants are only asked to recall a subset of the stimuli presented, improving recall accuracy.

Sensory Memory

The shortest-term element of memory, which allows individuals to retain impressions of sensory information after the original stimuli have ended.

Sperling's Study

A classic psychological experiment conducted by George Sperling in the 1960s demonstrating the existence of sensory memory by using a grid of letters and a tone signaling which row to recall.

Chunking

A method of organizing information into manageable units or chunks, improving recall in memory.
