Imagine looking through an open door and seeing a huge mountain in the distance. You walk toward the door, and then notice that the mountain is not in the distance, but is actually nearby and only five feet tall. It is a model of a mountain, built as part of a carnival ride.

Define transduction, and how it applies when you look at the mountain. In what part of the eyes did it take place? What route did the nerve impulses take in the brain?

What principle caused you to think at first that the mountain was far away? Explain this principle. How were top-down processing and embodied mind involved?

If you walk around the mountain, what principle allows you to see it as one object, even though your view is changing? Name two Gestalt principles that might be involved in seeing patterns in the rocks on the mountain, and explain how they work.
