Recap – lesson 1
What is perception?Perception: The process which we give meaning to sensory information, resulting in our own interpretation.
What is Visual perception?Visual perception is the ability to interpret information and surroundings
via our eyes.
For example, when you organised the black and white patches into the shape of a cow
Visual Sensation is the initial process of detecting and decoding environmental information
For example: When you look at the first picture of the cow, your eyes transmit information to your brain about which parts are white and which parts are black.
The process of Sensationand Perception
Eye structure and functions
• Pupil:The opening in the centre of the iris. The size of the pupil determines the amount of light that enters the eye.
• LensTransparent flexible structure in the eye that focuses light on the retina by changing shape
• IrisThe coloured part of the eye. The muscles of the iris change the size of the pupil
• Cornea• The front covering of the eye that covers the iris and pupil
• RetinaA multi-layered sensory tissue that lines the back of the eye. It contains photoreceptors that capture light rays and convert them into electrical impulses. These impulses travel along the optic nerve to the brain where they are turned into images.
Vision process• Looking at your diagram, what order do you
think the vision process occurs in? Label in pencil 1-5.

On your poster, draw arrows or write the order of the vision process.
Today’s objectives:
•Characteristics of the visual perception system
Visual System Characteristics - RTTOI• Reception• Transduction• Transmission• Organisation and Interpretation
Activity: Create a sentence whereby the first letter of each word is the visual system process – RTTOI.

Reception
Reception: is the process by which the structures of the eye capture an image of a visual stimulus and focus it on the photoreceptors in the retina.
There are two types of photoreceptors:Cones: Photoreceptor that responds to high levels of light –
responsible for detecting colour vision and fine details.
To remember : you eat ice-cream (cone included) during the day when its light.
Rods: Photoreceptor that responds to very low levels of light – responsible for night vision.
To remember: you go fishing (with your rod) at night when it is dark.
Reception
Transduction
•Transduction: the process by which photoreceptors in the retina change electromagnetic energy (light) into electrical impulses (signals) which can travel along the optic nerve to the brain.
•More simply, conversion of the information into a form that can be processed
Reception + Transduction
TransmissionThe process of transferring or moving info from one location to another. (I.e. from receptor cells
to the brain)
•The optic nerve carries the visual information from the retina to the visual cortex which is located at the back of the brain + specialises in receiving and processing visual information.
Transmission
Organisation and Interpretation• Organisationinvolves assembling or arranging the features of avisual image in a meaningful way.
For example, we perceive a ‘house’ rather than ‘doors, windows, walls, roof, chimney
• Interpretation is the process of assigning (or ‘giving’) meaning to visual
information so that we can understand what we are looking at.
• For example, we know that an aeroplane doesn’t get physically smaller as it takes off from the runway and flies into the sky even though it appears to shrink.
