- 18. MEMORY: A momentary sensory memory for touch and other somatic sensations.
- 19. DISC: The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a blind spot with no photoreceptors.
- 25. THEORY: The theory of color vision that suggests we have three types of receptors sensitive to red, blue, and green.
- 27. CUES: Depth cues available to either eye alone, such as linear perspective and relative size.
- 29. PSYCHOLOGY: The principle that perception is based on the idea that the whole is different from the sum of its parts.
- 33. Mind & Sense
- 34. THRESHOLD: The smallest amount of a stimulus that can be detected 50% of the time.
- 35. SENSE: The sense of balance, controlled by the fluid-filled canals in the inner ear.
- 38. The structure in the inner ear that contains the auditory receptors.
- 39. CONTROL THEORY: The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological gate that blocks or allows pain signals.

- 1. The study of the relationship between physical stimuli and the psychological experience of them.
- 2. AMNESIA: The inability to form new memories after a brain injury or event.
- 5. The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.
- 8. INTERFERENCE: A type of interference where new learning disrupts the recall of old information.
