  2. 7. Tone deafness
  3. 8. Principle that states the receptors of the sensory system respond to a wide range of stimuli and contribute to the perception of each of them
  4. 13. Area of the retina that aids in detailed vision processing
  5. 14. The “what” pathway for vision that originates from V2 and extends to the temporal lobe
  6. 16. Theory that states we perceive color in terms of paired opposites
  7. 17. Inability to recognize people’s faces

  9. 20. Structure of the auditory system of flesh and cartilage attached to the side of the head
  10. 23. Adjustable anatomy of the eye that helps the pupil focus on objects of various distances
  11. 24. Sharpens contrasts to emphasize the borders of objects
  12. 27. Number of compressions per second of sound measured in Hertz
