If you happen to miss a class for various reasons this is the page that you will let me know that you need to catch up. I will then post up the relevant documents for you.

__**This work needs to be completed by our class on Wednesday 29th May (it will be checked then).**__


 * Psychology – Wednesday 13/03/13**

All students should have updated their powerpoints by creating additional slides on; - the perceptual constancies (size, shape, brightness) - perceptual set (context, motivation, emotional state, past experience, cultural factors Those who were absent may need to ask Soraya, Gabby or Emman for directions with this work. These powerpoints need to be completed and uploaded in your own time.

To clear up any confusion the SAC will be held next Wednesday the 20th March. So we will have one more content lesson (this Friday) and then one revision lesson on Monday, then the SAC on Wednesday.

__Distortions of Visual Perception by Illusions__ Today’s work will be focusing on visual illusions.

Read through pages 133-140 and complete questions Learning Activity 3.29 (pg.138) and Learning Activity 3.31 (pg.140).

If time persists create the Muller-Lyer illusion by following the instructions on page 137, Learning Activity 3.28. You can then test the illusion on your peers that aren’t in our psychology class.

Email me if you have any troubles bailey.stephanie.s@edumail.vic.gov.au

Today you will be completing the visual perception match up sheet - this will become a poster you can add to your wall at home. Let me know if you have any problems! Here is a digital copy of the worksheet incase for some reason they don't get to you.
 * Wednesday 6th March**



Sorry I can't be in class today guys, I'm going to trust that you will all work really hard for me! Your tasks for the lesson are to read through the visual perception principles and create a powerpoint. You will have a new slide for each principle - on each slide you will write 1) the name of the principle, 2) a short description, 3) find a picture that represents this principle.
 * Friday 1st March**

You need to create slides for the Gestalt Visual Perception Principles, which include 1) Figure-ground organisation, 2) Closure, 3) Similarity, 4) Proximity. There are great pictures in the textbook of each of these principles.

You then need to add the Depth Principles.These include two types 1) Binocular and 2) Monocular. There are two binocular depth cues 1) Convergence and 2) Retinal disparity. There are also two monocular depth cues 1) Accommodation and 2) Pictorial Cues. However there are 5 pictorial cues these are 1) Linear perspective, 2) Interposition, 3) Texture gradient, 4) Relative size, 5) Height in the visual field.

You can upload your powerpoint presentations onto this page when you are complete. If you have any questions you can either post a discussion, email me, or ask Ms Byrne for clarification.

Thanks guys, now work hard! (Only two weeks until the SAC).
