| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| A person will most likely develop aphasia as a result of damage to which of the following parts of the brain? | Wernicke’s area |
| Valerie’s eyes focus on her notebook when she is taking notes in class, and the image of her writing appears clear and distinct. When she looks up at the instructor standing in the distance, her eyes focus on her instructor. | Correct. Accommodation specifically pertains to how the eyes focus on near and far objects. Accommodation is achieved by the contraction or relaxation of the muscles surrounding the lens. |
| Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system results in which of the following? | A decrease in heart rate |
| The parasympathetic nervous system | The parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) is the "rest and digest" part of your autonomic nervous system, working opposite the "fight or flight" |
| Constancy | Constancy occurs when it is understood that objects are still the same size, in spite of their actual size on the retina. |
| alcohol is most accurately classified as which of the following types of drug? | Depressant |
| Depressants | Depressants are drugs that slow down the central nervous system, reducing brain activity to induce relaxation, sleepiness, or calmnes |
| Wernicke’s area | responsible for language comprehension, connecting sounds and words to meaning |
| perceptual set | your mental readiness or predisposition to perceive things in a certain way, influenced by expectations, experiences, emotions, and context, |
| Sleep apnea | a serious sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts, often due to airway blockage (Obstructive Sleep Apnea, OSA) or the brain failing to signal muscles (Central Sleep Apnea, CSA) |
| Retinal disparity | Retinal disparity is the slight difference in the image of a scene captured by each eye due to their horizontal separation |
| The Law of Figure-Ground: | The Law of Figure-Ground: Designing for Contrast | by Inchara ... Figure-ground is a core Gestalt psychology principle describing how we separate a main object (figure) from its surroundings (ground) in a visual scene |
| Which of the following would be an operational definition of depth perception? Responses | How many times a person accurately judges the distance of an object |
| Cognitive theorists emphasize | Cognitive theorists emphasize that our internal mental processes—like thinking, interpreting, remembering, and problem-solving—mediate between environmental stimuli and our behavioral responses also formation and modification of schemas |
| convergence is a binocular depth cue | Muscular tension that occurs when the eyes turn inward |
| Damage to the occipital lobe would most likely affect a person’s | vision |
| Weber’s law | Weber’s law contends that the ability to notice a difference in the intensity of a stimulus depends on the initial amount of that stimulus. |
| Top-down processing | Top-down processing is when your brain uses existing knowledge, expectations, and context (high-level info) to interpret new sensory information (low-level details) |
| Vestibular | The vestibular sense is involved in body position and balance. |
| Similarity | In psychology, similarity is the principle that objects, ideas, or people with shared characteristics are perceived as belonging together |
| perceptual organization | how our brain structures scattered sensory input into meaningful, coherent patterns and objects |
| Just noticeable change | the smallest change in a stimulus's intensity (like light, sound, or weight) that a person can detect at least 50% of the time |
| In vision, transduction occurs within the | optic nerve |
| Gate-control theory | how non-painful sensations (like touch) can "close the gate" in the spinal cord to block or reduce pain signals from reaching the brain, while painful signals (from small nerve fibers) can "open the gate |
| Volley theory | this theory contends that individual fibers in the auditory nerve respond to another stimulus in a rapid succession of rhythmic sound stimuli, whereas other fibers in the nerve respond to subsequent stimuli. |
| Stroboscopic movement, | Correct. Stroboscopic movement occurs when the brain perceives movement when varied images are viewed rapidly. |
