  2. Perceived visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceived_visual_angle

    The Murray, et al. (2006) observers viewed a flat picture with two disks that subtended the same visual angle θ and formed retinal images of the same size (R), but the perceived angular size, θ′, for one disk was larger than θ′ for the other (say, 17% larger) due to differences in their background patterns. And, in cortical Area V1, the ...

  3. Visual angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_angle

    Visual angle is the angle a viewed object subtends at the eye, usually stated in degrees of arc. It also is called the object's angular size . The diagram on the right shows an observer's eye looking at a frontal extent (the vertical arrow) that has a linear size S {\displaystyle S} , located in the distance D {\displaystyle D} from point O ...

  4. Mental rotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_rotation

    Physical objects that people imagine rotating in everyday life have many properties, such as textures, shapes, and colors. A study at the University of California Santa Barbara was conducted to specifically test the extent to which visual information, such as color, is represented during mental rotation. This study used several methods such as ...

  5. International Affective Picture System - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Affective...

    The International Affective Picture System (IAPS) is a database of pictures designed to provide a standardized set of pictures for studying emotion and attention [1] that has been widely used in psychological research. [2]

  6. Depth perception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_perception

    If two objects are known to be the same size (for example, two trees) but their absolute size is unknown, relative size cues can provide information about the relative depth of the two objects. If one subtends a larger visual angle on the retina than the other, the object which subtends the larger visual angle appears closer.

  7. Geon (psychology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geon_(psychology)

    Objects represented as an arrangement of geons would, similarly, be viewpoint invariant. Stability or resistance to visual noise: Because the geons are simple, they are readily supported by the Gestalt property of smooth continuation, rendering their identification robust to partial occlusion and degradation by visual noise as, for example ...

  8. Object-based attention - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-based_attention

    Object-based attention refers to the relationship between an ‘object’ representation and a person’s visually stimulated, selective attention, as opposed to a relationship involving either a spatial or a feature representation; although these types of selective attention are not necessarily mutually exclusive. [1]

  9. Spatial cognition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_cognition

    Finally, the angle in which an object is placed in relation to another object, plays a major role in having distortions when it comes to spatial cognition. The amount of angular errors increased significantly when the angle between two objects exceeds 90 degrees. This phenomenon occurs in all age groups, e.g. younger, middle-aged and older adults.
