Sensation & Perception
Across
- 1. _____clarity: Monocular cue. Hazy objects are farther away.
- 4. Chemical signals for communication.
- 7. Gestalt concept. Grouping nearby figures.
- 12. _____and ground: Gestalt concept. Distinguishing objects from background.
- 14. _____ threshold: Minimum stimulation needed to detect a stimulus 50% of the time.
- 16. Light-sensitive inner eye surface with receptor cells.
- 17. _____canals: Inner ear canals for balance.
- 20. _____depth cues: Depth cues using both eyes.
- 21. _____perception: Ability to perceive sound frequency.
- 23. Eyes converging inward for depth.

- 25. _____attention: Focusing on a particular stimulus.
- 29. _____nerve: Carries impulses from the eye to the brain.
- 30. _____theory: Pitch linked to specific hairs in the Cochlea.
- 31. _____set: Predisposition to perceive certain things.
- 32. Partial color blindness.
- 35. Gestalt concept. Grouping similar figures.
- 36. _____ adaptation: Reduced sensitivity from constant stimulation.
- 39. _____depth cues: Depth cues for one eye.
- 40. _____control theory: Spinal cord “gate” blocks/allows pain signals.
- 42. _____blindness: Missing visible objects when focused elsewhere.
- 43. Detect black, white, gray; for low light.
- 45. Clearer vision for nearby objects.
- 47. _____size: Monocular cue. maller images are farther away.
- 48. _____spot: Point where the optic nerve leaves the eye; no receptors.
- 49. Sensory control center in the brain.
- 54. Lens changes shape to focus on objects.

- 58. _____disparity: Depth from comparing retinal images.
- 59. Gestalt concept. Completing incomplete figures.
- 60. Clearer vision for distant objects.
- 61. _____theory: Three color receptors (red, green, blue).
Down
- 2. Monocular cue. Closer objects block farther ones.
- 3. _____’s law: Two stimuli must differ by a constant percentage to be perceived as different.
- 5. Responding to visual stimuli without conscious experience.
- 6. Distance between wave peaks.
- 8. Visual images persisting after stimulus removal.
- 9. organizing and interpreting sensory information to understand the environment.
