3. Precognition – Ability to see future events (Psychic)(i.e.,
seeing a political leaders death)
4. Psychokinesis – perform physical task with mind

REVIEW SLIDES
• Detection: Anytime your senses pick up something
• Absolute Threshold: 50% of the time going to detect at a certain
level…think music, sight, when do you first see it…
• Subliminal Threshold: might pick up below absolute threshold here
and there
• Difference Threshold: being able to pick up what is higher or louder
50% of the time…can you see the light get brighter? Sounds get
louder?
• Signal Detection Theory: expecting to hear sound because you are in
a hearing test, look for it, new parents…waitress, late at night in a
parking not…motivation, expectations…

1 Relative Height
Description
We perceive objects that are higher in our field
of vision to be farther away than those that are lower.
Nearby objects reflect more light into our eyes than more distant objects.
Given two identical objects, the dimmer one appears to be farther away

Relative Size
Objects are similar in size, we perceive the one
that casts a smaller retinal image to be farther away.

Interposition
Objects that block other objects
tend to be perceived as closer

Linear Perspective Parallel lines appear to converge in the distance.
More the lines converge, the greater perceived distance.

Motion
Surfaces: walls, roads, fields of flowers in bloom, have a texture.
Surface gets farther away texture gets finer, appears smoother
Light from distant objects passes through more light, perceive hazy
objects as farther away than sharp clear objects.
When moving our head from side to side, nearby objects
appear to move more than distance objects; far objects
appear to move slower than nearby objects
