Chapter 3 Notes

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
the activation of receptors located in the eyes, ears, skin, nasal cavities, and tongue.   Sensation  
🗑
the smallest amount of energy needed for conscious detection of a stimulus at least half the time it is present.   Absolute Threshold  
🗑
smallest differences between two stimuli that is detectable 50% of the time   Just Noticeable Difference  
🗑
- determined by the amplitude of the wave—how high or how low the wave actually is. The higher the wave, the brighter the light will be. Low waves are dimmer   Brightness  
🗑
is determined by the length of the wave   Color or hue  
🗑
refers to the purity of the color people see; mixing in black or gray would also lessen the saturation.   Saturation  
🗑
What order of eye parts does light travel throug?   Enters through Cornea, goes through pupil (pupil size is controled by iris size on lens and then goes to Retina.  
🗑
jelly-like fluid called that also nourishes the eye and gives it shape located behind the lens.   Vitreous humor  
🗑
Right after Cornea is a clear, watery fluid that is continually replenished and supplies nourishment to the front of the eye.   Aqueous Humor  
🗑
this theory proposed three types of cones: red cones, blue cones, and green cones, one for each of the three primary colors of light   Trichromatic theory  
🗑
theory of color vision that proposes four primary colors with cones arranged in pairs: red and green, blue and yellow.   Opponent-process theory  
🗑
images that occur when a visual sensation persists for a brief time even after the original stimulus is removed.   After Images  
🗑
Have no cones or cones that are not working at all.   Monochrome Color Blindness  
🗑
red or green cones are not working and would see world in blues, yellows, and shades of gray.   Red Green Color Blindness  
🗑
See world in reds, greens, and shades of gray if blue cones ar not working.   Blue Yellow Color Blindness  
🗑
Is eiter red green or blue yellow color blind   Dichromat  
🗑
Why is it more common for a men to be color blind than women.   A man only needs one recessive gene to be colorblind a woman needs two.  
🗑
The height of a sound wave is its   Amplitude  
🗑
(a richness in the tone of the sound).   Timbre  
🗑
Another word for Amplitude   Volume  
🗑
Outter Ear   Pinna  
🗑
Cycles per second   Hertz  
🗑
short tunnel that runs from the pinna to the eardrum (tympanic membrane).   Auditory Canal  
🗑
thin section of skin that tightly covers the opening into the middle part of the ear   Ear Drum  
🗑
When sound waves hit the eardrum, it vibrates and causes three tiny bones in the middle ear to vibrate.   Hanmer, Anvil, and Stirrup  
🗑
This membrane is called the oval window   Inner Ear  
🗑
A snail like structure is called the   Cochlea  
🗑
The Cochlea is located where   Inner Ear  
🗑
The fluid inside the Cochlea is call the   Basilar Membrane  
🗑
Contains receptor cells for the sense of hearing   Organ of Corti  
🗑
Hair like cells send neural messages through the   Auditory Nerve  
🗑
Type of hearing impairment that sound vibrations can not be passed from the eardrum to the choclea.   Conduction Hearing Impairment  
🗑
Type of hearing impairment that hearing aids may help   Conduction Hearing Impairment  
🗑
Type of hearing impairment that lies either in the inner ear or in the auditory pathways and the cortical areas of the brain.   Nerve hearing Impairment.  
🗑
is the sense of taste.   Gustodian  
🗑
taste receptor cells in mouth; responsible for sense of taste   Taste Buds  
🗑
bumps on the tongue in which taste buds line the walls   Papillae  
🗑
Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, “Brothy   Five Basic Tastes  
🗑
is the sense of smell.   Olfaction  
🗑
n the upper part of the sinus cavity receive molecules of substances and create neural signals which then go to the olfactory bulbs   Olfactory Sensors  
🗑
The olfactory Bulbs are located in the   Frontal Lobe  
🗑
The neural smaell sensors go directly to the olfactory bulb in the frontal lobe not through the   Thalmus  
🗑
A pain located in the organs   Visceral pain  
🗑
Respond to pressure just under the skin   Pacinian Corpuscles  
🗑
pain sensations in skin, muscles, tendons, and joints.   Somatic Pain  
🗑
Without the ability to feel pain   Congential Analgesia, and Congenital Insensitivity  
🗑
Feeling pain in a missing limb   Phantom pain  
🗑
Pain signal pass through a gate in the spinal cord.   Gate Control Theory  
🗑
The bodies sense of position in space   Kinesthesia  
🗑
The sense of balance   Vestibular Sense  
🗑
Tiny sacs just above the chochlea   Otolith Organs  
🗑
Disagreement between what the eyes and body say causes   Motion Sickness  
🗑
Sensory Conflict is another name for   Motion Sickness  
🗑
Skin, Kenesthetic and vestibular senses are   Somesthetic Senses  
🗑
Taste/gustation and smell/olfaction are   Chemical Senses  
🗑
the method by which the sensations experienced at any given moment are interpreted and organized in some meaningful fashion   Perception  
🗑
Size, shape, and brightness constancies are   Perceptual Constancies  
🗑
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts   Gestalt Theory  
🗑
refer to the tendency to perceive objects, or figures as existing, on some background   Figure-ground  
🗑
a tendency to perceive objects that are close to one another as part of the same grouping   Proximity  
🗑
tendency to complete figures that are incomplete   Closure  
🗑
cues for depth that require only 1 eye for perception   Monocular  
🗑
tendency for lines that are parallel to appear to converge in the distance relative size:perception that occurs when objects that a person expects to be of a certain size appear to be small and are, therefore, assumed to be much farther away overlap   Linear Perspective  
🗑
the assumption that an object that appears to be blocking part of another object is in front of the second object and closer to the viewer   Overlap  
🗑
the haziness that surrounds objects that are farther away from the viewer, causing the distance to be perceived as greater   aerial perspective  
🗑
the perception of motion of objects in which close objects appear to move more quickly than objects that are farther away   motion parallax  
🗑
as a monocular clue, the brain's use of information about the changing thickness of the lens of the eye in response to looking at objects that are close or far away.   accommodation  
🗑
REFERRS TO THE ROTATION OF TWO EYES IN THEIR SOCKETS TO FOCUS ON A SINGLE OBJECT.   Convergence  
🗑
Scientific way of saying because 2 eyes are a couple of inches a part they do not see exactly the samething.   Binocular disparity  
🗑
a perception that does not correspond to reality   Illusion  
🗑

🗑
Rapid series of pictures of still pictures appear to be moving.   Stroboscopic motion  
🗑
Lights turned on in a rapid sequence   Phi Phenomenom  
🗑
refers to the tendency to perceive objects and situations a particular way because of prior experiences   Perceptual Set  
🗑
reception of information not gained through the recognized senses.   Extrasensory Perception ESP  
🗑
