Amodal completion
|
|
Amodal completion The creation of a subjective contour that is without local sensory attributes e.g. contrast difference. It is neither a cognitive inference nor a projection but a direct perception. Seen most often in displays that have partially occluded objects.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Local
In the area of the tumor; confined to one specific area.
Contrast
"Short for ""contrast media."" Contrast media are X-ray dyes used to provide contrast, for example, between blood vessels and other tissue."
Cognitive
The mental process of knowing, including aspects such as awareness, perception, reasoning, and judgment.
Projection
A defense mechanism, operating unconsciously, in which what is emotionally unacceptable in the self is unconsciously rejected and attributed (projected) to others.
SIMILAR TERMS--------------------------------------
Amodal
Perceptually present, but not having a real phenomenological presence. (As opposed to Modal).
PREVIOUS AND NEXT TERMS--------------------------------------
Aliasing
Results when density of sampling is less than density of signal. One can only measure the portion of the input falling over the sampled positions. Sampled values for two different signals can be the same when the in-between values are different.
Allelotropia
A depth percept can cause a shift in perceived form, namely change in the perceived distance between patterns in a configuration. For example that a pattern AB C is viewed in one eye and the pattern A BC is viewed through the other, the letter B is seen in depth at a position halfway between A and C.
Amacrine cell
A type of neuron seen in the retina.
Ambient vision
The role of vision involved in orienting an animal in space and guiding its larger movements. Sensitive to motion and dependent on peripheral vision. (As opposed to Focal Vision).
Amodal
Perceptually present, but not having a real phenomenological presence. (As opposed to Modal).
Amodal completion
Anaglyph
Device for creating 3-D images using red and blue filters for the two eyes.
Anchoring
In any scene, the object which is the lightest is perceived as being white, or is 'anchored' to white.
Angle of incidence
Angle between an incident ray of light and the perpendicular to a surface.
Angle of reflection
Angle between a reflected ray of light and the perpendicular reflecting surface.
Angle of refraction
Angle between a refracted ray of light and the perpendicular to the refracting surface.
