|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| Perception | show 🗑
|
||||
| Bottom-up Processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| Top-down Processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere.
🗑
|
||||
| Change Blindness | show 🗑
|
||||
| Psychophysics | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The minimum stimulations needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of faint stimulus("signal") amid background stimulation("noise"). Assumes there's no single absolute threshold; detection depends partly on a person's experience,expectations, motivation,alertness.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Below one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness.
🗑
|
||||
| Priming | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50 percent of the time. We experience the difference threshold as a "just noticeable difference" (jnd).
🗑
|
||||
| show | The principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant percentage (rather than a constant amount).
🗑
|
||||
| show | Diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.
🗑
|
||||
| Transduction | show 🗑
|
||||
| Wavelength | show 🗑
|
||||
| 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.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness, as determined by the wave's amplitude.
🗑
|
||||
| Pupil | show 🗑
|
||||
| Iris | show 🗑
|
||||
| Lens | show 🗑
|
||||
| Retina | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The process by which the eye's lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don't respond.
🗑
|
||||
| Cones | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain.
🗑
|
||||
| Blind Spot | show 🗑
|
||||
| Fovea | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.
🗑
|
||||
| Parallel Processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The theory that the 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.
🗑
|
||||
| Opponent-process Theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| Audition | show 🗑
|
||||
| Frequency | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A tone's experienced highness or lowness; depends on frequency.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The chamber between the eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea's oval window.
🗑
|
||||
| Cochlea | show 🗑
|
||||
| Inner Ear | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | In hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated.
🗑
|
||||
| show | In hearing, the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch.
🗑
|
||||
| Conduction Hearing Loss | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sensorineural Hearing Loss | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cochlear Implant | show 🗑
|
||||
| Kinesthesis | show 🗑
|
||||
| Vestibular Sense | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological"gate"that blocks painsignals or allows them to pass on to the brain.It's opened by the activity of painsignals traveling up small nervefibers/closed by activity in big fibers or coming from the brain
🗑
|
||||
| show | The principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An organized whole. Gestalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes.
🗑
|
||||
| Figure-ground | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes.
🗑
|
||||
| Retinal Disparity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.
🗑
|
||||
| Phi Phenomenon | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent shapes, size, lightness, and color) even as illumination and retinal images change.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.
🗑
|
||||
| show | In vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field.
🗑
|
||||
| Perceptual Set | show 🗑
|
||||
| Extrasensory Perception (ESP) | show 🗑
|
||||
| Parapsychology | show 🗑
