What are the different theories that explain visual perception?
The theories that explain visual perception can be categorised into 2 approaches: The constructivist approach: These theorists believe that the process of seeing is an active one in which perceptions are constructed from: * environmental information and sensory input * stored information from memory The ecological approach: These theorists believe that perception is a direct process in which information is detected rather than constructed. This means that perceptions are picked up from environmental information by exploring the objects (by seeing, smelling, listening, tasting and touching).
