  1. 3. A type of motivation involving engaging in certain activities or behaviors that either reduce biological needs or help us obtain incentives or external rewards.
  2. 5. A perceptual experience of being inside an object, moving through an environment, or carrying out some action that is cr3eated or simulated by computer.
  3. 9. Accompany emotions and may send social signals about how we feel.
  4. 10. A monocular cue for depth perception that comes into play when objects overlap.

  7. 13. A law that says performance on a task is an interaction between the level of physiological arousal and the difficulty of the task.
  8. 14. The experience we have after our brain assembles and combines hundreds of individual, meaningless sensations into a meaningful pattern or image.
