CH3 Sensation and Perception

Across

2. The sense that informs us about the positions and motion of parts of out bodies
3. An area near the center of the retina that is dense with cones and here vision is consequently most acute
8. Stimuli suggestive of depth that can be perceived with only one eye
9. The minimal amount of energy that can produce a sensation
13. The view that the perception of sensory stimuli involves the interaction of physical, biological and physiological factors
16. A person who is sensitive to black white, and either red green, or blue yellow and hence is partially color-blind
18. The type of sensory adaptation in which we become more sensitive to stimuli that are low in magnitude; positive adaptation
20. The theory that the pitch of sound is determined by the section of the basilar membrane that vibrates in response to the sound
21. The minimal difference in intensity required between two sources of energy so that they are perceived as being different
22. A condition characterized by brittleness of the lens
23. The process by which sensations are organized into an inner representation of the world
30. motion, The visual illusion in which the perception of motion is generated by a series of stationary images presented in rapid succession
31. The theory that the pitch of a sound is reflected in the frequency of the neural impulses that are generated in response to the sound
34. The fraction of the intensity by which a source of physical energy must be increased or decreased so that a difference in intensity will be perceived
35. A person who is sensitive to black and white only and hence color-blind
36. A muscular membrane whose dilation regulates the amount of light that enters the eye
37. A monocular cue for depth based on the perception that nearby objects appear to move more rapidly in relation to our own motion
38. The black-looking opening in the center of the iris, through which light that enters the eye
39. fate, The tendency to perceive elements that move together as belonging together
40. A membrane that lies coiled within the cochlea
41. The theory that color vision is made possible by three types of cones, some of which respond to red light, some to green, and some to blue
42. Transparent tissue forming the outer surface of the eyeball

Down

1. stimuli suggestive of depth that involve simultaneous perception by both eyes
4. The theory that color vision is made possible by three types of cones, some of which respond to red or green light, some to blue or yellow, and some to the intensity of light
5. The type of sensory adaptation in which we become less sensitive to constant stimuli; negative adaptation
6. The minimal amount by which a source of energy must be increased or decreased so that a difference in intensity will be perceived
7. The inner ear
10. A unit expressing the frequency of soundwaves
11. A transparent body behind the iris that focuses an image on the retina
12. The axon bundle that transmits neural impulses from the organ of the Corti to the brain
14. A person with normal color vision
15. Sensory stimulation below a person's absolute threshold for conscious perception
17. The lingering visual impression made by a stimulus that has been removed
19. A binocular cue for depth based on the inward movement of the eyes as they attempt to focus on an object that is drawing nearer
24. A unit expressing the loudness of a sound
25. perception of objects or events through means other than the recognized sensory objects
26. The nerve that transmits information concerning odors form olfactory receptors to the brain
27. cells, Neurons whose axons from the optic nerve
28. The nerve that transmits sensory information from the eye to the brain
29. The area of the inner surface of the eye that contains rods and cones
32. The stimulation of sensory receptors and the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system
33. The sense of equilibrium that informs us about our bodies' positions relative to gravity
