| perception | show 🗑
|
||||
| selective attention | show 🗑
|
||||
| sensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation
🗑
|
||||
| show | a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise).
🗑
|
||||
| show | below one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness
🗑
|
||||
| top-down processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| transduction | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage (rather than a constant amount)
🗑
|
||||
| accommodation | show 🗑
|
||||
| blind spot | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well-lit conditions. Detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations
🗑
|
||||
| feature detectors | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster
🗑
|
||||
| show | the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light; what we know as the color names blue, green, and so forth
🗑
|
||||
| intensity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening
🗑
|
||||
| show | the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| opponent-process theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
🗑
|
||||
| parallel processing | show 🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| retina | show 🗑
|
||||
| rods | show 🗑
|
||||
| wavelength | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that retina contains three different color receptors-one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue--which, when stimulated in combination, can produce the perception of any color
🗑
|
||||
| extrasensory perception (esp) | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not other
🗑
