| Feature Detectors | show 🗑
|
||||
| Supercell Clusters | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The human ability to speedily recognize familiar objects. Example: Perceiving the colour, motion, and form of a bird in flight
🗑
|
||||
| show | The ability of people who are cortically blind due to lesions in their visual cortex to respond to visual stimuli they do not consciously see.
🗑
|
||||
| Blindsight Example | show 🗑
|
||||
| Young-Helmholtz (Trichromatic) Theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| Opponent Process Theory Part One | show 🗑
|
||||
| Opponent Process Theory Part Two | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time
🗑
|
||||
| Pitch | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The size or height of the sound wave. The bigger the wave, the louder the sound. Example: Brightness is to light as loudness is to sound
🗑
|
||||
| show | This is what sound waves pass through on the way to the auditory nerve: Eardrum->Hammer->Anvil->Stirrup-> Cochlea
🗑
|
||||
| show | Transmits sound from the air to the bones of the middle ear
🗑
|
||||
| Middle Ear | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cochlea | show 🗑
|
||||
| Basilar Membrane | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated. Best explains how we perceive high pitched sounds.
🗑
|
||||
| show | High-frequency sounds trigger large vibrations near the beginning of the basilar membrane. Current research suggests that both theories correctly explain different aspects of how we hear pitch
🗑
|
||||
| show | The theory that the rate at which nerve impulses travel up the auditory nerve matches the frequency (pitch) of the tone being heard. Best explains how we perceive low-pitched sounds
🗑
|
||||
| show | Auditory system nervous respond to sound by firing action potentials out of phase with one another so that when combined a greater frequency of sound (pitch) can be encoded and sent to the brain to be analyzed
🗑
|
||||
| show | This between left and right auditory stimulation is important for accurately locating sounds. It is difficult to locate sounds that are directly overhead because it reaches both ears simultaneously.
🗑
|
||||
| show | People who have hearing loss in one ear have difficulty locating sounds because sound waves strike one ear sooner and more intensely that the other. Cocking your head helps detecting sound
🗑
|
||||
| show | Sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and the ossicles of the middle ear. It usually involves a reduction in sound level or the ability to hear faint sounds
🗑
|
||||
| show | Misuse of Q-tips in cleaning your ears can rupture the eardrum or damage the hammer, avil, and stirrup leading to conduction hearing loss
🗑
|
||||
| Sensorineural Hearing Loss | show 🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| McGurk Effect Part One | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | of a third sound. This best illustrates sensory interaction.
🗑
|
||||
| show | If we see a speaker mouthing day, while actually hearing someone else saying may, we may perceive a third syllable bay that blends both inputs
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| show | This would reduce pain by activating nerve fibers in your spinal cord
🗑
|
||||
| show | Pain is a function of the balance between the information travelling into the spinal cord through large never fibers and information travelling into the spinal cord through small fibers
🗑
|
||||
| Gate-Control Theory Part Two | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | If there is more activity in small nerve fibers, then there will be pain
🗑

|
||||
| Olfaction Part One | show 🗑
|
||||
| Olfaction Part Two | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | An organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasized that the whole may exceed the sum of its parts.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Perceiving images by organizing stimuli into an object seen against its surroundings. Example: A floating sea vessel is to the ocean water as figure is to ground
🗑
|
||||
| show | The perceptual tendency to group together stimuli are near each other
🗑
|
||||
| show | Refers to the mind's tendency to see complete figures or forms even if a picture is incomplete, partially hidden by other objects, or if part of the information needed to make a complete picture in our minds is missing
🗑
|

🗑
|
||||
| Linear Perspective | show 🗑
|

| show | Closer object obstruct our view of distant objects
🗑
|
||||
| show | When objects are equal size, the closer one will take up more of your visual field. (cast a larger retinal image)
🗑
|
||||
| show | Close objects in direction of movement glide rapidly past but objects in the distance appear to move slowly. As we move, objects that are fixed in place may appear to move
🗑
|
||||
| show | Dimmer objects are interpreted as farther away
🗑
|
||||
| Compute Motion | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The steadily of this of an approaching object is important for perceiving the object's motion

|
||||
| show | Refers to the fact that objects are perceived to have consistent lightness even if the amount of light they reflect changes
🗑
|
||||
| show | The amount of light an object reflects relative to its surroundings. Example: A horse looking just as black in the brilliant sunlight as it does in the dim light of a stable
🗑
|
||||
| show | Refers to the fact that objects are perceived to be the same color even if the light they reflect changes. Color constancy best demonstrates that an object's perceived color is influenced by its surrounding objects

||||
| Immanuel Kent | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | This philosopher believed that people learn to perceive the world through experience
🗑
|
||||
| show | A critical period exists for normal this. Humans born blind do not have the cortical regions needed to interpret visual stimuli. Sensory restriction does not appear to damage if it occurs later in life
🗑
|
||||
| show | When visually deprived infant monkeys are first allowed to see, they could not visually distinguish circle from squares.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Refers to the perceptual adjustment to an artificially displaced visual field. It emphasizes the impact of experience on perception
🗑
|
||||
