Outline• Basic Sensory Processes
• Vision• Transduction• Colour • Receptive fields• Feature detectors
Study Question:
• Compare and contrast the trichromatic theory of colour vision with the opponent process theory of colour. Relate these theories to the Law of Complimentary and the Three Primaries Law.

Sensation
• The Eye

Sensation• Vision: The Retina

Sensation• Rod and cone vision
– Cones> Specialized for colour and acuity> concentrated in fovea
– Rods> Specialized for sensitivity in dim light> concentrated in periphery
– Both contain a photochemical that reacts to light (in the rods: rhodopsin)
– Two reasons why rods are more sensitive to light1. Rhodopsin is more sensitive to light
2. Density of cones in the fovea

Sensation• Colour Vision
– The colour of objects is determined by pigments
– Subtractive colour mixing
> Colour perception is created by absorption of wavelengths of light

Vision
• Additive Colour Mixing– When coloured lights are mixed, two laws apply:
> Three Primaries Law> Law of Complimentarity

Vision
• Two Theories of colour vision– Trichromatic theory
> -> the three types of receptors are sufficient for colour perception
![Page 11: Psychology 100:12 Chapter 5 Sensation & Perception Part III](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/5697bfef1a28abf838cb9fa1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Opponent Process theory
– Trichromatic theory does not account for complimentary colours.
– Colour vision is mediated by cells that can be excited or inhibited
– Blue- Yellow, Red - Green, & brightness

Contrast
• Coding of Contrast and Contour– Three examples of exaggerated contrast

Feature detectors
• Feature detectors– Hubel and Weisel
> Simple cells - edge detectors
> Complex cells - edges at particular angles
> Hypercomplex cells - angles and length
– Higher level feature detectors: Motion detectors
