Western Michigan University, 1971 Visual perception refers to the process of receiving and analyzing sensory information through the medium of the eye. The report extensively surveys literature concerning the developmental processes and characteristics of visual perception. The research tended to show a relationship between visual perceptual maturity and academic achievement. The prominent remedial programs were discussed in conjunction with supporting or disputing research concerning the alleged benefits. Finally, studies dealing with the visual perception of the mentally retarded were proffered. A research project was conducted with mentally retarded and non-retarded subjects, matched according to mental age. The Frostig Developmental Test of Visual Perception was administered. .There was not a demonstrated significant difference (p_> .05 level) between the raw scores of the two groups but there was significant difference between the perceptual quotients (p^c.OOl level). The shortcomings of the research were delineated. Future replication and other research in this area was highly advocated. Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

Historically, the best life they could possibly expect was that of a beggar, and they often received very cruel, sadistic punishment. Even many religious groups considered the mentally retarded individual to be a "witch”, or that they "pos­ sessed evil spirits”, and it is estimated that 100,000 mentally retarded were executed between the mid-fifteenth and seventeenth centuries (Gearhart, 1967). Jean Itard's efforts at teaching the"Wild Boy of Aveyron" served as the needed impetus for fostering the belief of some enlightened Frenchmen that education could increase the self-actualizing potential of many mental retardates. On the basis of Itard's limited successes Edouard Seguin founded a school for the mentally retarded in 1837. He arrived in the United States in 1848 and was instrumental in establishing several institutions for the mentally retarded, thus he is considered by many to be the founder of the mentally retarded programs in this country (Gearhart, 1967). Fortunately, today, the morals of most civilized cultures will not permit the atrocities that occurred in the past. Michigan's Con­ stitution charges local school districts with the responsibility of enforcing mandatory education for all school-age children and Michigan Public Law R-340 provides that local school districts may have special, classes for the mentally retarded youngsters. The Michigan Association 1 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. of Intermediate District Special Education Administrators (1968, p. 90) stated the special education enrollment requirements for the mentally- handicapped as: A pupil shall be considered as enrolled as a member of the program under this act, as determined through diagnostic study, if (a) he is mentally handicapped and potentially socially competent, (b) he is mentally handi­ capped but prognosis is such that he may appear neither academically educable nor potentially socially competent but who may with training become at least partially self-supporting. The former is considered Type A, educable mentally handicapped and the latter as Type B, trainable mentally handicapped. Thus, the pupil who is intellectually able but is not making satisfactory progress and adjustment is excluded from this program. Mental retardation has had many diversified concepts through the years and to this day ambiguities remain and thus, not a single universal definition is acceptable. One widely accepted definition (Stevens & Haber, 1965) is, "Mental retardation refers to sub-average general intellectual functioning which originates during the develop­ mental period and is associated with impairment in adaptive behavior." Another widely quoted theory, developed by Hebb, is that mental retardation is a deficit of intellectual functioning resulting from varied intra-personal and/or extra-personal determinants, but having as a common proximate cause a diminished efficiency of the nervous system, thus entailing a reduced general capacity for growth in per­ ceptual and conceptual integration and consequently in environmental adjustment (Robinson & Robinson, 1965).

  • The Role of Motion Streaks in the Perception of the Kinetic Zollner Illusion
    Journal of Vision (2012) 12(6):19, 1–14 http://www.journalofvision.org/content/12/6/19 1 The role of motion streaks in the perception of the kinetic Zollner illusion The School of Optometry and Vision Science, The University of New South Wales, Sieu K. Khuu Sydney, New South Wales $ In classic geometric illusions such as the Zollner illusion, vertical lines superimposed on oriented background lines appear tilted in the direction opposite to the background. In kinetic forms of this illusion, an object moving over oriented background lines appears to follow a titled path, again in the direction opposite to the background. Existing literature does not proffer a complete explanation of the effect. Here, it is suggested that motion streaks underpin the illusion; that the effect is a consequence of interactions between detectors tuned to the orientation of background lines and those sensing the motion streaks that arise from fast object motion. This account was examined in the present study by measuring motion-tilt induction under different conditions in which the strength or salience of motion streaks was attenuated: by varying object speed (Experiment 1), contrast (Experiment 2), and trajectory/length by changing the element life-time within the stimulus (Experiment 3). It was predicted that, as motion streaks become less available, background lines would less affect the perceived direction of motion. Consistent with this prediction, the results indicated that, with a reduction in object speed below that required to generate motion streaks (, 1.128/s), Weber contrast (, 0.125) and motion streak length (two frames) reduced or extinguished the motion-tilt-induction effect.

  • Geometrical Optical Illusion Via Sub-Riemannian Geodesics in the Roto-Translation Group
    Geometrical Optical Illusion via Sub-Riemannian Geodesics in the Roto-Translation Group B. Franceschiello1, A. Mashtakov2, G. Citti3, and A. Sarti4 1 Fondation Asile des Aveugles and Laboratory for Investigative Neurophisiology, Department of Radiology, CHUV - UNIL, Lausanne 2 Program Systems Institute of RAS, Russia, CPRC, 3 Department of Mathematics, University of Bologna, Italy 4 CAMS, Center of Mathematics, CNRS - EHESS,Paris, France [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. We present a neuro-mathematical model for geometrical op- tical illusions (GOIs), a class of illusory phenomena that consists in a mismatch of geometrical properties of the visual stimulus and its associ- ated percept. They take place in the visual areas V1/V2 whose functional architecture have been modelled in previous works by Citti and Sarti as a Lie group equipped with a sub-Riemannian (SR) metric. Here we ex- tend their model proposing that the metric responsible for the cortical connectivity is modulated by the modelled neuro-physiological response of simple cells to the visual stimulus, hence providing a more biologically plausible model that takes into account a presence of visual stimulus. Il- lusory contours in our model are described as geodesics in the new metric. The model is confirmed by numerical simulations, where we compute the geodesics via SR-Fast Marching. 1 Introduction Geometrical-optical illusions (GOIs) have been discovered in the XIX century by German psychologists (Oppel 1854 [50], Hering, 1878,[33]) and have been defined as situations in which there is an awareness of a mismatch of geometrical prop- erties between an item in the object space and its associated percept [68].

Taylor August 2006 Major Subject: Computer Science iii ABSTRACT Computational Role of Disinhibition in Brain Function. (August 2006) Yingwei Yu, B.E., Beihang University, China Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Yoonsuck Choe Neurons are connected to form functional networks in the brain. When neurons are combined in sequence, nontrivial effects arise. One example is disinhibition; that is, inhibition to another inhibitory factor. Disinhibition may be serving an important purpose because a large number of local circuits in the brain contain disinhibitory connections. However, their exact functional role is not well understood. The objective of this dissertation is to analyze the computational role of dis- inhibition in brain function, especially in visual perception and attentional control. My approach is to propose computational models of disinhibition and then map the model to the local circuits in the brain to explain psychological phenomena. Several computational models are proposed in this dissertation to account for disinhibition. (1) A static inverse difference of Gaussian filter (IDoG) is derived to account explic- itly for the spatial effects of disinhibition.

  • Applying Emmert's Law to the Poggendorff Illusion

The extensities between the verticals and the transversals happen to be absolutely equal in retinal image size, whereas the registered distance for the verticals must be smaller than that of the transversals due to the fact that the former is assumed to occlude the latter. This combination of facts calls for the operation of Emmert’s Law, which results in the shrinkage of the occluding space between the verticals. Since the retinal image shows the transversals to be in contact with the verticals, the shrinkage must drag the transversals inwards in the cortical representation in order to eliminate the gaps. Such dragging of the transversals produces the illusory misalignment, which is a dictation of geometry. Some of the consequences of this new explanation were tested in four different experiments. In Experiment 1, a new illusion, the tilting of an occluded continuation of an oblique line, was predicted and achieved. In Experiments 2 and 3, perceived nearness of the occluding entity was Edited by: manipulated via texture density variations and the predicted misalignment variations Baingio Pinna, were confirmed by using a between-subjects and within-subjects designs, respectively.

    Oxford Reference The Oxford Companion to Consciousness Edited by Tim Bayne, Axel Cleeremans, and Patrick Wilken Publisher: Oxford University Press Print Publication Date: 2009 Print ISBN-13: 9780198569510 Published online: 2010 Current Online Version: 2010 eISBN: 9780191727924 illusions Illusions confuse and bias the machinery in the brain that constructs our representations of the world, because they reveal a discrepancy between what we perceive and what is objectively out there in the world. But both illusions and accurate perceptions are governed by the same lawful perceptual processes. Despite the deceptive simplicity of illusions, there are no fully agreed theories about their causes. Illusions include geometrical illusions, in which angles, lengths, or shapes are misperceived; illusions of lightness, in which the context distorts the perceived lightness of objects; and illusions of representation, including puzzle pictures, ambiguous pictures, and impossible figures. 1. Geometrical illusions 2. Illusions of lightness 3. Illusions of representation 1. Geometrical illusions Figure I1 shows some illusory distortions in perceived angles, named after their discoverers; the Zollner, Hering and Poggendorff illusions, and Fraser's LIFE figure. Length illusions include the Müller–Lyer, the vertical–horizontal, and the Ponzo illusion. Shape illusions include Roger Shepard's tables and Kitaoka's bulge illusion. In the Zollner illusion, the long oblique lines are parallel, but they appear to be tilted away from the small fins that cross them. In the Hering illusion the verticals are parallel but appear to be bowed outward, again in a direction away from the inducing lines. In the Poggendorff illusion, the right‐hand oblique line looks as though it would pass above the left‐hand oblique if extended, although both are really exactly aligned.
