Describe
The phenomenon I choose the amodal perception. Literally, amodal perception refers to the perception of information which is corporate or redundant in numerous senses. Amodal information involves changing three stimulation intricate parameters including; intensity, space and time (Arterberry & Kellman, 2016). For instance, tempo and rhythm are detectable by hearing or seeing a pianist striking the note on the keyboard, also the same shape, texture and size can be perceived through feeling or seeing a banana.
Interesting
I find this phenomenon to be interesting because tries to explain how one can perceive various objects of the same size, shape and texture with the changing stimulation of time, space and intensity. I am curious to know the logic behind the perception of information which is redundant in numerous senses. I want to get to know what enhances this amodal perception and get to know if it applies to every human being.
Research
Certain research has been undertaken to demonstrate that infants are inept perceivers of numerous properties of events (Arterberry & Kellman, 2016). Nonetheless, little research has examined the infants’ developmental trajectory sensitiveness to a various extent of stimulation. For instance, research has determined that infants are amodal properties’ expert perceivers, entailing chronological and special elements of events, in their initial first half-year (Arterberry & Kellman, 2016).
Relate/Follow up
This phenomenon of amodal perception relates to the phenomenon of infants’ utilization of motion to perceive the shape. This is because the former phenomenon entails the perception of information which is corporate or redundant in numerous senses by the infant whereas the latter phenomenon entails the perception of the shape of objects using motion by the infant (Bahrick & Hollich, 2007). Both of them share something in common which is to perceive certain information. It is asserted that infants are capable of relating objects in motion to their effect sound based on the temporal synchrony (Bahrick & Hollich, 2007). I would recommend further research of an experiment demonstrating how infants relate in motion to their effect sound based on the temporal synchrony so as to give a better understanding of how this is possible.
