Across
  1. 3. muscle that controls the pupil
  2. 6. location of hair cells in the ear
  3. 10. predisposition to perceive data in one way based on experience
  4. 11. hammer, stirrup, anvil
  5. 13. theory that states that the number of neural impulses triggered in the auditory nerve creates our perception of different tones
  6. 14. minimum stimuli need to meet this threshold
  7. 17. rule of perception in which we group items that are alike
  8. 19. train track illusion
  9. 20. also known as the tympanic membrane
  10. 23. type of hearing loss due to genes
  11. 28. process of converting stimuli into neural impulses
  12. 29. depth cue that relies on tension in your eyes, more tension = closer object
  13. 30. type of hearing loss due to something stuck in your ear
  14. 34. location of rods/cones
  15. 35. different light wavelengths allow for this aspect of vision
  16. 36. school of psychology that focused heavily on perception
  17. 37. receptors for sight
  18. 38. this theory argues that we sometime get our sensations wrong because we are influenced by outside factors
  19. 41. opponent process theory of color used these to identify opposing color pairs
  20. 43. rule of perception in which we place certain items in the front, and others in the back
  21. 44. stairway to heaven example
  22. 45. messages that are communicated below absolute threshold
  23. 46. selective attention issue as seen in the gorilla example
  24. 47. procedure used to test for telepathy
Down
  1. 1. rule of perception in which we view changes in shape as movement, rather than independent objects
  2. 2. opening in eye for light to enter
  3. 4. idea that we only process what is absolutely necessary to deal with our environment
  4. 5. esp that allows individual to communicate via minds
  5. 7. measure of loudness
  6. 8. biological process of detecting environmental stimuli
  7. 9. location in eye with no rods/cones
  8. 12. depth cue in which items above the horizon appear further away
  9. 15. measure of pitch
  10. 16. most common type of perceptual processing in which we used context
  11. 18. this inner ear system contributes to balance
  12. 21. minimum variation needed to meet this threshold
  13. 22. this theory states we have three types of cones sensitive to red, green, and blue
  14. 24. this sensory process allows us to become less sensitive to intense stimuli over time
  15. 25. mental process of interpreting environmental stimuli
  16. 26. this states that our ability to meet difference threshold is dependent on the intensity of the original stimulus
  17. 27. rule of perception in which we view changes in size as depth rather than size
  18. 29. rule of perception in which we fill missing data
  19. 31. condition resulting from problems with the vestibular system leading to dizzy spells
  20. 32. receptors for audition
  21. 33. visual illusion that messes with your view of a room
  22. 39. EAT POPCORN technique
  23. 40. depth cue in which overlapping items create depth
  24. 42. bends light onto retina
