Explanation #2 'Framing effects hypothesis’, which says that the difference in the separation or gap of the horizontal lines from the framing converging lines may determine, or at least contribute to the magnitude of the distortion. In this explanation, we compare those two lines through the gap. We assume that the lower line is shorter beacause its length is in the gap, and the other line is long enough to beyond the gap.
A numerical aperture (NA) mismatch occurs when the NA of one optical fiber is different from the NA of the other optical fiber. If the NA of the transmitting fiber is larger than the NA of the receiving optical fiber, a loss may occur. However, a loss will not occur if the NA of the transmitting optical fiber is less than the NA receiving optical fiber. NA mismatch loss is typically only a concern with multimode optical fiber. To avoid this mismatch make sure you are using the proper lengths of cable, accounting for the
One type of visual judgement is temporal order judgements (TOJs). TOJs are tasks in which one must determine which of a number of stimuli appeared first. Cass & Van der Burg (2014) used TOJs, measured by just noticeable differences (JNDs) to study temporal resolution. Temporal resolution is the interval over which the visual field blurs information together. Cass & Van der Burg studied the affect of distractor events on temporal

Introduction The Pulfrich effect is a psycho-optical phenomenon wherein lateral motion of an object in the field of view is interpreted by the brain as having a depth component, due to differences in processing speed between images from the two eyes. The effect is generally induced by placing a dark filter over one eye. The phenomenon is named after a German physicist Carl Pulfrich who first described it in 1922. Two key factors which give rise to this phenomenon is that the brain derives an impression of an object’s distance by comparing the views seen by the two eyes, and the second important factor is that the photoreceptors in the eyes respond more sluggishly when the scene is less bright. Photoreceptors in the retina are the first proper stage of neural processing.
Discuss the roles of “nature” and “nurture” with regard to the interpretation and evaluation of sensory data. We have no choice but to trust in the accuracy of sensory information because it is all we have. One example of an inaccuracy of sensory information is “the McGurk effect is an error in sound perception that occurs when there is a mismatch between the senses of hearing and seeing” (Stangor, 2011). In that example your ears hear one thing (Ba Ba Ba), your eyes see another (Ga Ga Ga), while your brain processes a third (Da Da Da). Another example of inaccuracy is “illusions occur when the perceptual processes that normally help us correctly perceive the world around us are fooled by a particular situation so that we see something that does not exist or that is incorrect” (Stangor, 2011).
A flicker paradigm occurs when an original and a modified image continually alternate, one after the other, with a brief blank field between the two. This study consisted of measuring reaction time based on presenting a flashing stimulus then either changing the stimulus with one of the independent variables; with a color-presence- location change or placement change, centrally versus marginally. The study also consisted of measuring whether reaction time was quicker or slower based on these changes occurring centrally or marginally. Based on the idea that visual acuity is good only in small area straight ahead, where the image is focused on a part of the retina called the fovea (St. James, Schneider, & Eschman, 2005), I predicted that reaction time would be quicker when the change was located centrally within the
One of the main issues pertaining to diagnosis is the reliability of it. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) are the main references for when psychologists are determining whether or not someone has a phobia. If diagnosis was being done with little or no reference to the mentioned articles then it would not be very reliable, as opposed to if they were being cited then it would be a much more reliable classification. Another problem is that it is very possible for diagnostic disagreements to occur due to differences in interpreting the causes or effects. For example, one of the main constituents of a phobia is generally described as being where the ‘anxiety causes interference with the functioning of a normal life’, but what if different doctors had different ideas of what a normal life was?
The opening line of the poem, “By naming them he made them,” connects “naming” with making (Page line 1). The idea—that naming makes an object—is paradoxical since the “making” is both creative and destructive. Naming reduces the range of possible meanings that exist when the object is understood only through the senses. By naming the mountains Cook has changed them; this alteration is emphasized in the rhyming of “nam[e]” (1), “came” (3), and “not the same” (4).
