Sensation and Perception
Across
- 1. claim that perception can occur apart from senory imput
- 3. senses interating with each other
- 5. theory that opposingretnial processes enable color vision
- 6. failing to noctic changes in the enviorment (form of attention blindness)
- 7. the theory that the retina contains three different types of color receptors, red, green, and blue
- 8. a lab device for testing depth perception in babies
- 10. the study of the paranormal phenominon
- 11. the teory that the spinal cord contains a "gate" that only alows one type or sensation at a time
- 12. reatinal receptorsthat detect black white and grey that are sensative to movement, nessisary for peripheral and night vision
- 17. orginizing info guided by higher mental processing as we respond to our expiriences
- 19. a depth cue such as retnial desparity
- 21. sensory nerve endings that respond to stimuli
- 23. amount of energy in a light or sound wave which influences brightness or loudness
- 25. nerve cells in the brains visual cortex that responds to stumuli such as shape angle or movement
- 28. the number of complete wavelegnths that pass a point in a given time
- 29. below the absolute threshold
- 31. ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion in the eye
- 33. transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shapeto help focus images in the retna
- 38. adjustable opening in the center of the eye which light enters
- 40. an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succesion
- 43. between the eardrum and choclea has the three tiny bones
- 44. ear damage caused by mechanical system that conducts sound waves
- 45. the theory that links the pitch with the place in the cochleas membrane is stimulated
- 46. the eyes clear protective outer layer
- 47. dimention of color determined by the wavelegth of light
- 48. orginizing and interpereting sensory info
- 49. diminished senitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation
- 50. central focal point in the renina around which the eyes cones cluster
- 55. sense of smell
- 56. the activations of associations
- 59. mental predisposition to precive one thing not the other
- 60. the study of the relationship between the physical characteristics of stimuli and the intensity of them
- 61. analasis that begins with sensory receptors and works up to brains intergration of sensory info
- 62. when the eyes lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina
- 63. perciving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change
- 64. the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traelinh up the auditory tone
- 65. the min difference required for detection 50% of the time
- 66. focusing concuous awareness on a particular stimulus
Down
- 2. the ability too adjust to changed sensory imput includinh and aritfishially displaced or introverted field
- 4. receptors that are concentrated near the center of the eye and that function well in daylight they give fine detail
- 9. failing to see visual objects when our attention is directed elsewhere
- 13. a depth cue such as interpositioningor linear perspective avalable to either eye alone
- 14. our sense of body position that enables our sense of balance
- 15. the orginization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings
- 16. ability to see objects in three dimintions
- 18. a binocular cue for perceiving depth
- 20. to be perceived as different two stimuli must differ by a consistant min %
- 22. sensory receptors picking up stimuli from our enviorment
- 24. the perceptual tendancy to orginize stimuli into coherent groups
- 26. perciving familiar objects as having simmilar color
- 27. hearing loss caused by famage to cochleas roeceptor cells
- 30. device for converting sounds into electrical signals
- 32. the minimum amount of energy required to detect a particular stinulous 50% of the time
- 34. the sense or act of hearing
- 35. the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye
- 36. the innermost part of the ear
- 37. the infuens of bodily sensations on cognitive preferences and judment
- 39. processing many aspects of a problem at a time
- 41. a coilded fulid filled tube in the inner ear
- 42. a tones expiriance highnes or lowness depends of frequency
- 51. the peak of one light or sound wave to to the peak of the next one
- 52. our movement sense
- 53. the nerve that carries nural impulses from the eye to the brain
- 54. transforming stimulous energy to electrical energy
- 57. light sensitive inner surface of the eye
- 58. and orginized whole. these psychologiests emphisised our tendancy to intigrate pieces of info into a meaningfull whole
