Intro to Sensation and Perception: Vision

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show process in which we detect physical energy from the environment and then encode it as neural signals (sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment)  
🗑
Perception   show
🗑
show begins with sensory receptors and works up to brains integration of sensory info  
🗑
show info processing guided by higher level mental processes (when we draw perception from our experience or expectations)  
🗑
Psychophysics   show
🗑
Absolute threshold   show
🗑
show below the absolute threshold for conscious awareness  
🗑
show the often unconscious activation of certain associations, predisposing ones perception, memory or response.  
🗑
show the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50% of the time (Just Noticeable Difference)  
🗑
show for stimuli to be perceived as different, they must differ by a constant percent rather than amount  
🗑
show diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation  
🗑
show distance from one wave peak to the next  
🗑
show dimensions of color determined by wave length  
🗑
show amount of energy in light waves- determines brightness, determined by wave height  
🗑
show the light sensitive inner surface of the eye. Contains receptor rods and cones  
🗑
Accommodation   show
🗑
Rods   show
🗑
Cones   show
🗑
show nerve that carries neural impulses from eye to brain  
🗑
Blind Spot   show
🗑
Fovea   show
🗑
show nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of stimulus (movement, shape, angle.) ie. Frog and fly  
🗑
Parallel Processing   show
🗑
Young-Helmhotz trichromatic theory   show
🗑
show theory that opposing retinal processes (red-green, yellow-blue, black-white) enable color vision.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
