Distinctively visual images which can be seen, or perceived in the mind can shape the responder understanding of relationship with others plus the world around . The use of distinctively visual features has had a positive effect on my understanding of the novel Maestro by Peter Goldsworthy’s and the painting ‘starry starry night’ by Vincent van Gogh. This has been done through distinctively visual features such as descriptive and emotive language in Maestro and the use of colour, shading, lighting and placement in ‘starry starry night’.In saying this, this gives evidence as I do strongly agree with the statement ‘‘The visual image has a significant impact on the way the responder is positioned to react to a text’. This will be seen through…

The human brain is capable of perceiving and interpreting information or stimuli received through the sense organs (i.e., eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin) (Weiten, 1998). This ability to perceive and interpret stimulus allows the human being to make meaningful sense of the world and environment around them. However, even as the human being is able to perceive and interpret stimuli information through all sense organs, stimuli is most often or primarily interpreted using the visual (eyes) and auditory (ears) sense organs (Anderson, 2009). However, for the purpose of this paper, the visual information process will be examined. Conditions that impair the visual information process will be analyzed, in addition to, an examination of the current trends in research that are advancing the understanding of research of visual information processing.…

Goodale and Milner added to the research of Ungerleider and Mishkin; they proposed that the spatial and structural attributes of an object are processed by both streams but for different purposes. Instead of Ungerleider and Mishkin’s “what vs. where” proposal, Goodale and Milner suggested using “what” and “how” to describe the roles of the ventral and dorsal streams. They suggest that the ventral stream plays the major role in composing the representation of the visual world and objects within it (what).These representations play an important role in identifying objects and allowing us to attach meanings to them. Goodale and Milner also proposed that the dorsal stream is responsible for the visual control of actions directed at those objects (how) and not just to identify spatial localization of objects. As Dr. Marrotta stated: “Goodale and Milner’s research focuses on behavioral output rather than a separation of sensory input.” Goodale and Milner supported their findings by examining and observing the behavior of numerous patients…
The subject does not accurately depict the human anatomy. In fact, while studying this figure, one may notice that geometric shapes make up many of the limbs. For example, the artist uses ovals to represent the palm of the hands, the shoulders and the knees. The man's chest is in the form of squares with rounded edges and with perfect little white circles as nipples. This oval-like shape is often called an ovoid. The ovoid that make up the palms, chest, and knees are open allowing the natural color of the red cedar to show through. Much of the inside of the mask is the color of red cedar. The ovals that…
The work shows a man with three eyes where the third eye is horizontal on the forehead. This piece of work can be seen as portrait. The third eye is open and bigger than the other two eyes and the left eye is drawn in a way that it looks like it is closed. The text is in the background of the piece, so the man is surrounded with words which implies to the thoughts and the stories that this individual might had to share with the viewers. The facial features like eyes, nose and mouth are all drawn through lines not straight lines but…
My dissertation was devoted to social perception, the question whether perceptual content can represent social properties, for example being an agent, being a person, being a goal-directed action, and being in an emotional state. I argued in my thesis that goal-directed actions, agents and emotional expressions can be fully represented in visual perception, integrating philosophical arguments with recent empirical work in psychology and neuroscience. During my Phd I published a co-authored paper in Topics in Cognitive Science about perception of persons and agents.…
Watching Sensation and Perception on Discovery Psychology with Philip Zimbardo greatly enforced material that we have learned in class. As the film begins some questions are posed such as how is our brain tricked by visual illusions and what makes a star quarterback miss an easy pass? These questions and many more where discussed and answered throughout the film. The first explanation given as to why our brain might be tricked by the world around us is because of the limitations to our sensation and perception. Sometimes the brain must go with an unrealistic explanation even though it is not logical. This point was further proven when it appeared to our brain that the man in the room was growing larger when in reality the room was skewed to cause this illusion to occur. Although our brains can be tricked…
