Question 6

1 / 1 pts

A major problem with template theories of object recognition is that

  

template theories predict that object recognition should usually be viewpoint-invariant, but in fact recognition has been shown to viewpoint-dependent.

   

templates are only useful when recognizing objects from accidental viewpoints.

   

template theories predict that object recognition should usually be viewpoint-dependent, but in fact recognition has been shown to viewpoint-invariant.

   

we cannot possibly store enough templates in memory to match every object we might encounter.

   

templates are too abstract to be used in object recognition.

 

 

Question 7

1 / 1 pts

Tarr and his colleagues have found that the amount of time needed to recognize novel objects is at least partially determined by

  

the complexity of the outline of the object.

   

whether or not the object can be described in terms of geons.

 

the color of the object.

   

the amount the object is rotated from its studied view.

   

whether or not the object is mirror-reversed from its studied view.

 

 

Question 8

1 / 1 pts

Prosopagnosia is a neuropsychological disorder in which the patient

  

can recognize objects but cannot name them.

   

cannot recognize objects at the superordinate level.

   

can identify faces, but cannot recognize other types of objects.

   

cannot identify faces, but can recognize other types of objects.

Question 9

1 / 1 pts

The term “grandmother cell” refers to a neuron that

  

is connected to a large number of other neurons.

  

is isolated from other neurons.

   

responds best to one specific object.

   

divides several times to form a number of new neurons.

   

None of the above

 

 

Question 10

1 / 1 pts

Research has shown that if 4-month-old infants see a stick moving back and forth behind a brick that occludes the middle of the stick, they are then surprised if the brick is removed to reveal two separate sticks. This result is important because it shows that infants make use of some types of _______ when interpreting visual scenes.

  

surface markings

   

figure-ground assignment principles

   

grouping principles

   

structural descriptions

   

texture segmentation
