Unconscious assumptions about the environment

Unconscious assumptions about the environment

According to Helmholtz’s theory of unconscious inference, sensory information received by our eyes is often incomplete or ambiguous. The brain therefore uses past experience and unconscious assumptions about the environment to construct the most likely perception.

For example, when one object partly covers another, we usually perceive the covered object as complete rather than as separate fragments.

Sensory information + past experience + unconscious assumptions → perception


पर्यावरण के बारे में अचेतन धारणाएँ
(Unconscious assumptions about the environment)

Helmholtz के अचेतन अनुमान के सिद्धांत (Theory of Unconscious Inference) के अनुसार, हमारी आँखों को मिलने वाली sensory information अक्सर अधूरी या अस्पष्ट होती है। इसलिए मस्तिष्क पिछले अनुभवों और पर्यावरण के बारे में बनी अचेतन धारणाओं के आधार पर सबसे संभावित perception का निर्माण करता है।

उदाहरण: जब एक वस्तु का कुछ भाग दूसरी वस्तु से ढका होता है, तब भी हम उस ढकी हुई वस्तु को अलग-अलग टूटे हुए टुकड़ों के रूप में नहीं, बल्कि एक पूर्ण वस्तु के रूप में देखते हैं।

संवेदी जानकारी + पिछला अनुभव + अचेतन धारणाएँ → प्रत्यक्षीकरण (Perception)


Helmholtzની theory of unconscious inference પ્રમાણે, આંખને મળતી sensory information ઘણી વખત અધૂરી અથવા ambiguous હોય છે. તેથી મગજ ભૂતકાળના અનુભવ અને પર્યાવરણ વિશેની અજાણતાં થતી ધારણાઓના આધારે સૌથી સંભવિત perception બનાવે છે.

ઉદાહરણ: કોઈ વસ્તુનો થોડો ભાગ બીજી વસ્તુથી ઢંકાયેલો હોય, છતાં આપણે તેને બે તૂટેલા ભાગ તરીકે નહીં, પરંતુ પાછળ રહેલી એક સંપૂર્ણ વસ્તુ તરીકે perceive કરીએ છીએ.

Unconscious inference = sensory information + past experience + unconscious assumptions → perception
