Chapter 2

1. Chapter 2 is about Visual and auditory recognition. This chapter emphasizes on theories like Gestalt, template matching, feature analysis and recognition by components to explain about how visualizing helps to recognize an object. And also goes in depth on Top-down and Bottom up processing, where by the importance's of object recognition and a persons concept, expectation and memory influences to recognize objects. Also, Face perception such as recognizing the face in question, and speech perception, such as listening to voices to recognize objects.

2. This chapter helps me to understand how the process is of people visually recognizing objectives, such as the theory explained in the chapter and processing taken to apply recognition.

3. I am still not clear on Top-down processing. I have hard time to make connection to past experience to identify the object in question.

4. I think these theories will help me to understand my job better and accurate. by applying these theory to recognizing object rapidly, it would make it easier to provide efficient outcomes, since we know what we see and hear.

5. The author tries to give more theory of each possible way in visual and auditory and also many examples as well. I also try to put my self in the situation each time I read an theory or an example, and sometimes I ask friends to see how they think about this subjects.

6. I think no matter how many examples are giving, but to really understand it, its important to imagine in your own case.

7. Since this chapter explain how you can visualize shapes and text, I think its important to train your self how to recognize objects, and if you are teaching, try to understand the students how to use these theory.

8. I think there are always other ways to do this faster, cheaper or better, it depends on who you want to teach. By showing more graphical design would help better and faster as the technology get more advanced.
