Visual Perception
Psychology ⇒ Sensation and Perception
Visual Perception starts at 10 and continues till grade 12.
QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Visual Perception.
How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take.
When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
Describe how motion parallax helps in depth perception.
Describe how the brain uses binocular cues to perceive depth.
Describe the function of the optic nerve in visual perception.
Describe the phenomenon of visual adaptation and provide an example.
Describe the role of feature detectors in the visual cortex.
Explain how the brain compensates for the blind spot in each eye.
Explain the difference between bottom-up and top-down processing in visual perception.
Which of the following best explains why we perceive a white dress as blue under certain lighting conditions? (1) Color constancy (2) Retinal disparity (3) Visual adaptation (4) Motion parallax
Which cells in the retina are primarily responsible for color vision? (1) Rods (2) Cones (3) Bipolar cells (4) Ganglion cells
Which lobe of the brain is primarily responsible for processing visual information? (1) Temporal lobe (2) Parietal lobe (3) Occipital lobe (4) Frontal lobe
Which of the following best describes the function of ganglion cells in the retina? (1) Detect color (2) Transmit visual information to the brain (3) Focus light (4) Control pupil size
Which of the following best describes the function of the iris? (1) Focuses light (2) Controls the amount of light entering the eye (3) Detects color (4) Transmits signals to the brain
The __________ is the colored part of the eye that controls the size of the pupil.
The __________ is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil.
The __________ theory of color vision states that color is perceived through the activity of three types of cones, each sensitive to a different wavelength.
The area of the retina where visual acuity is highest is called the __________.
True or False: Cones are more numerous than rods in the human retina.
True or False: Rods are more sensitive to light than cones.
True or False: The fovea is the area of the retina with the highest concentration of rods.
True or False: The opponent-process theory suggests that color perception is controlled by the activity of two opponent systems: a blue-yellow mechanism and a red-green mechanism.
