Accommodation: the changing shape of the lens. When an object is close the lens bulges. When an object is far away the lens stretches. This is due to the relaxation and contraction of the ciliary muscles around the lens. (monocular)

There are two ways of processing information
1. Top-down2. Bottom-up
![Page 87: CHAPTER 1 Define Psychology. Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour in humans](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/5697bfc11a28abf838ca4226/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Top-Down ProcessingWhen we observe the whole image first
and apply existing knowledge to give it meaning.
TOP-DOWN PROCESSING
Drawing on past experience and knowledge to
interpret sensationsInterpret
information according to expectations
A perception is formed
For example: when you read your essay you usually miss spelling mistakes. This is because you are reading your work as you wanted it to be rather then what was on the page. You read what you expect to read rather then what you have written. You look at it as a whole rather than each word.
![Page 88: CHAPTER 1 Define Psychology. Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour in humans](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/5697bfc11a28abf838ca4226/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Bottom-Up ProcessingWhen we analyse the individual parts of
a stimulus to gain meaning of the whole.
A perception is formed
Creating a whole picture from the
individual elements
Analysing the specific features or
elements of a stimulus
BOTTOM-UP PROCESSING
For example: children use bottom up processing because they don’t have much past experience. They ask questions to make sense of their thoughts. Eg. its large and grey, it has four legs, big ears and a trunk. It is an elephant.

An Ames room is a distorted room that is used to create a Visual Illusion.
An Ames room is constructed so that from the front it appears to be an ordinary cubic-shaped room, with a back wall and two side walls parallel to each other and perpendicular to the horizontally level floor and ceiling. However, this is a trick of perspective and the true shape of the room is trapezoidal: the walls are slanted and the ceiling and floor are at an incline, and the right corner is much closer to the front-positioned observer than the left corner (or vice versa).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A POPULATION AND A SAMPLE. GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF EACH.
![Page 98: CHAPTER 1 Define Psychology. Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour in humans](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/5697bfc11a28abf838ca4226/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Population: the whole large group that is of interest to the researcher. (the whole school)
Sample: the smaller subgroup of the population that has been selected to participate. (home group)
Representative: the sample must be typical of the population from which it is drawn from.
The more representative your sample is the more likely you are able to draw conclusions from your results and make generalisations.
![Page 99: CHAPTER 1 Define Psychology. Psychology is the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour in humans](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081504/5697bfc11a28abf838ca4226/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)

1) Random: everyone from the population has an equal chance of being selected. Selection depends on chance.
a) Lottery method: drawing names out randomlyb) Table of random numbers: a grid of randomised
numbers used to select or allocate participants.2) Stratified random sampling: if the population contains
sub groups (stratum/strata) then each subgroup needs to be represented in the sample. Eg. Population is a primary school, subgroups= year levels. For the sample you need to include students from all year levels.
3) Opportunity sampling: obtaining a sample by only including those who are available (aka convenience sampling)

A hypothesis is an educated guess of what you think may happen.
An operational hypothesis is a testable hypothesis which includes what you are testing, who you are testing and how you are testing it.
Things you need to include in your hypothesis-Independent variable: the treatment the
participants are exposed to.-Dependent variable: the factor that is expected
to change as a result of the treatment -Population: who is involved in the experiment.
