 Complex Stimuli VS simple Stimuli

The sales person is responding to a fixed behavior. Fixed behavior will usually

lead to predictable response. If the salesman is unable to pick out the right shoe, he may

need a visual imagery. He can put posters above the area of each shoe. He can use this

poster to remind him, of the different sizes. This could be associated with simple stimuli.

Our visual neurons respond in the real world. Natural Visual stimuli have been

reported to evoke neural responses with brief, intense firing events. This has important

implications for how visual information is encoded. A recent experiment measured the

responses

A major part of vision research builds on the assumption that processing of visual

stimuli can be understood on the basis of knowledge about the processing of simplified,

artificial stimuli. Recent experimental advances, however, show that a combination of

responses to simplified stimuli does not adequately describe responses to natural visual

scenes.

The Visual system is specifically adapted to the properties of its everyday input

and can only fully be understood when probed with naturalistic stimuli.
