For each of these distalstimulus,discussthe top-downinformationused in perceiving it.Ans:Answers should first relate sensory experience (visual, auditory, olfactory, etc.) to thephysical objects (or, distal stimuli) in the environment, and then show how knowledge andexpectations of an observer lead to perception of the stimuli.2.Describe three activities in whichone uses three different sensesto detect small differences inthe intensity of sensory stimuli. What role does difference threshold play in each activity?Ans:Cooking can be taken as an example here because one needs to adjust seasonings based onthe perception of taste. Similarly, proper functioning of a mechanical device (car, air conditioner,etc.) can be detected based on the sound it makes. In the same way, an observer’s like or dislikefor a painting depends on his or her visual perception. The minimum difference between twostimuli that allows an observer to perceive that the two stimuli are different is known as adifference threshold. In all these cases, difference threshold helps an observer to differentiatebetween any two given stimuli.
