Thus, because the two signals are not equal and the drum is seen to move (Wertheim,1994). Consequently, when using the inferential theory of perception the criticism is that the drum appears to be stationary even after once vection is saturated (Wertheim,1994).
Conclusion
For the purposes of this discussion we focused on evaluating two fundamental approaches to explaining perception; Direct perception and Inferential Theory. We found that the direct perception theory describes an approach, which asserts that the visual world reveals itself as an organized pattern of light. This pattern, called the optic array, is composed of information because it has specific structural features, described as invariants. Therefore using this theory, the process of perception is believed to be a process of "picking up" these invariants from the optic array.
On the other hand the investigation demonstrated that the inferential theory of perception asserts that the perception of motion of objects, inclusive of the visual world, is a result of the outcome of a comparison process between two neural signals. The first signal or the "retinal signal," is composed of retinal afferents in which the characteristics of movement of the image across the retinal surface are encoded. The second signal, or the "extraretinal signal," encodes...
When these signals are equal the object is stationary but when the signals are not equal the object is in motion. http://www.questia.com/PM.qst?a=o&d=23626172

Properties of Sensory Perception Within the realm of Gestalt theory, the concept of attention is differentiated from that of perception. Attention is the cognitive ability of the human brain to simultaneously focus on a variety of subjects, while continually adjusting the intensity of that focus in response to external factors. A total of four techniques have been identified by Gestalt theory to exert an impact on one's attention: intensity, novelty, incongruity,

Teachers Perceptions towards the value of personal development, health and physical education (PD/H/PE) The necessity for the furtherance of vigorous, hale and hearty lifestyles among the children and youth is immense. More and more children and youth are subjected to ample social evils and actions that expose their health and lifestyles at peril. This is substantiated by mounting reports of low self-esteem, insufficient nutrition, family troubles, strain, increased drop-out rates, aggression
It has been suggested that school leaders have to lead in ways that encourage mastery experiences for teachers. This is often done by way of an affiliative leadership style. It is by way of these leaders attempting to build up trust and generate accord by way of the development of bonds, teamwork, and communication that true efficacy can be seen. Goddard, Hoy, and Hoy (2000) agree, that "Although mastery experiences
