Top-Down Processing
Using background knowledge to make sense of stimuli, helps in creating user-focused designs with predictable patterns.
Sensory Perception
Receiving stimuli through sensory organs, essential for understanding user interactions with design elements.
Affordances and Perception
The perceived and actual properties that determine how an object can be used, important in interface design to indicate functionality to users.
Bottom-Up Processing
Constructing a perception from individual pieces of information, important for designs to deliver clear and unambiguous messages.
Depth Perception
Understanding the 3D space and object relations, crucial for virtual and augmented reality design.
Gestalt Principles
Psychological principles that describe how we organize visual elements, critical for creating intuitive and effective designs.
Visual Perception
Deciphering visual stimuli, crucial for designing user interfaces that are visually appealing and easy to navigate.
Perceptual Constancy
The ability to recognize objects as the same under different conditions, vital for consistency in design across various platforms.
Illusions in Perception
The brain's misinterpretation of sensory information, can be used in design to create memorable and striking effects.
Perceptual Organization
How the brain organizes sensory stimuli into a coherent pattern, influential in creating a logical flow within a design.
Auditory Perception
Interpreting sound stimuli, key for sound design in notifications and interactive voice responses.
Haptic Perception
Understanding through touch, essential for design of tactile interfaces and physical controls.
Perception of Time
User's sense of time passing, pivotal in UI design to minimize perceived wait times and enhance the sense of responsiveness.
Gustatory Perception
Sense of taste, rarely involved in design except for food-related industries.
Motion Perception
Perceiving movement, important in animation and interactive design to guide user attention.
Color Perception
How colors are seen and interpreted by the user, integral to design for aesthetics, accessibility, and branding.
Perceptual Learning
Improvement in one's ability to respond to stimuli as a result of experience, important in design for developing user proficiency.
Cross-Modal Perception
Interaction of various sensory modalities, essential in a cohesive multi-modal user experience.
Olfactory Perception
Processing of smell, significant in creating multi-sensory experiences and atmosphere in design.
Attention and Perception
How users focus on certain elements of design, necessary for ensuring important information stands out.
