This deck covers key concepts and theories from Cognitive Psychology, focusing on perception, aesthetics, and pattern recognition.
Who says the positive line of aesthetics is beauty and the sublime and the negative end is ugliness? (Attention: terminological confusion! sublime and beauty? the same, something different? one point on one dimension? different dimensions?)

How do we connect what we perceive to what we have stored in our minds? Gestalt psychologists referred to this problem as the … | … Hoffding function, named after 19th century Danish psychologist Harald Hoffding, who questioned whether perception can be reduced to a simple association of what is seen with what is remembered. |
According to James J. Gibson’s (1904 - 1980) theory of direct perception everything we need for perception is available … | … in the array of information at our sensory receptors; no higher level stuff is needed for perception. |
Why is Gibson’s model of direct perception sometimes referred to as an ecological model? | Because it is concerned with perception as it occurs in everyday life (the ecological environment) full of rich contextual information (in contrast to the lab situation). |
Who followed under the Gibsonean banner and conducted landmark research on infant perception (e.g.depth perception)? | Eleanor Gibson |
