| Sensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Organizing and interpreting sensory information
🗑
|
||||
| Bottom-up Processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | construction of perceptions based on knowledge, experience, or expectations
🗑
|
||||
| Psychophysics | show 🗑
|
||||
| Absolute Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| Signal Detection Theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| subliminal | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the activation of certain associations that predispose someone to give a certain response, recall a specific memory or perceive something in certain way, that usually occurs unconsciously.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the minimum difference between stimuli required to identify the difference fifty percent of the time, also called the just noticeable difference.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the principle that two stimuli must differ by a constant percentage, rather than a constant amount, to be perceived as different.
🗑
|
||||
| sensory adaptation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the conversion of one form of energy to another
🗑
|
||||
| wavelength | show 🗑
|
||||
| hue | show 🗑
|
||||
| intensity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the opening in the center of the eye through which light enters
🗑
|
||||
| show | a ring of muscle tissue that surrounds the pupil and controls its size
🗑
|
||||
| show | a transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to focus images on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| show | when the lens changes shape to focus objects at a specific distance on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| show | the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye that contains the receptor rods and cones as well as layers of neurons that begin to process visual information
🗑
|
||||
| acuity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which near objects can be more easily seen than distant objects because distant objects focus in front of the retina
🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which distant objects can be more easily seen that near ones because the images of near objects are projected behind the retina
🗑
|
||||
| rods | show 🗑
|
||||
| cones | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the pathway that carries neural impulses from the retina to the brain.
🗑
|
||||
| blind spot | show 🗑
|
||||
| fovea | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific aspects of a stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement
🗑
|
||||
| show | the brain's natural mode of information processing, in which several aspects of a stimulus; such as shape, color, and motion, are processed at once.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that the retina contains three different color receptors - red, green, and blue - which can produce any color when stimulated in combination
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that opposing retinal processes, such as red-green or yellow-blue, enable the perception of color.
🗑
|
||||
| show | perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color despite changing illumination
🗑
|
||||
| audition | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time
🗑
|
||||
| show | the highness or lowness of a tone, dependent on frequency
🗑
|
||||
| middle ear | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a coiled, bony, and fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger neural impulses
🗑
|
||||
| show | the part of the ear that contains the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated determines the the pitch of a tone
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that the rate of neural impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, determining its pitch
🗑
|
||||
| show | hearing loss caused by damage to mechanical systems in the ear
🗑
|
||||
| show | hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or the auditory nerves
🗑
|
||||
| show | a device that converts sounds into electrical impulses to stimulate the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that pain is controlled through a neurological gate in the spinal cord that can allow pain signals or allow them to pass through to the brain.
🗑
|
||||
| sensory interaction | show 🗑
|
||||
| kinesthesis | show 🗑
|
||||
| vestibular sense | show 🗑
|
||||
| afterimage effect | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | (ear canal) a tube running from the outer ear to the middle ear.
🗑
|
||||
| show | a thin membrane that separates the external ear from the middle ear in humans and other tetrapods
🗑
