Describe the a) law of good continuation, b) law of similarity, c) law of proximity, and d) law of common fate. e) How does a moving light display illustrate the common fate principle? </p><p>2. Describe some experimental evidence used to argue for top-down processes in perceptual segregation.</p><p>3. A) Geisler et al. (2001) took a series of images of natural scenes and made what kinds of measurements on these images? B) What were their findings when these measurements were related to information about objects in natural scenes? C) What was the implication of this study?</p><p>4. What are some commonalities between Marr’s theory of object recognition and Biederman’s theory of recognition by components?</p><p>5. Why are template matching theories not powerful enough as general theories of object recognition? </p><p>6. A) What are some non-accidental properties of geons in Biederman’s theory of recognition-by-components? B) According to Biederman, why are regions of concavity important in object recognition?
