  2. Emmert's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmert's_law

    Emmert's law has been used to investigate the moon illusion (the apparent enlargement of the moon or sun near the horizon compared with higher in the sky). [7] [8] A neuroimaging study that examined brain activation when participants viewed afterimages on surfaces placed at different distances found evidence supporting Emmert's Law and thus size constancy played out in primary visual cortex ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_constancy

    Subjective constancy or perceptual constancy is the perception of an object or quality as constant even though our sensation of the object changes. [1] While the physical characteristics of an object may not change, in an attempt to deal with the external world, the human perceptual system has mechanisms that adjust to the stimulus.

    The MIT Encyclopedia of the Cognitive Sciences explains the illusion as an effect of "size and shape constancy [which] subjectively expand[s] the near-far dimension along the line of sight." [4] It classifies Shepard tables as an example of a geometrical illusion, in the category of an "illusion of size." [4]

    For example, these can be in brightness or color, called intensive properties of targets, e.g. Mach bands. Or they can be in their location, size, orientation or depth, called extensive . When an illusion involves properties that fall within the purview of geometry it is geometrical–optical , a term given to it in the first scientific paper ...

    Without this correction process, an animal approaching from the distance would appear to gain in size. [62] [63] One kind of perceptual constancy is color constancy: for example, a white piece of paper can be recognized as such under different colors and intensities of light. [63]

    Other stoppages have been much shorter, with economic analyses after the fact often showing that the lost money is then returned to the US economy in nearly equal measure after the government reopens.

  8. Object recognition (cognitive science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_recognition...

    Visual object recognition refers to the ability to identify the objects in view based on visual input. One important signature of visual object recognition is "object invariance", or the ability to identify objects across changes in the detailed context in which objects are viewed, including changes in illumination, object pose, and background context.
