Sensation & Perception pt.3

2. The principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.
7. A binocular cue for perceiving depth: by comparing images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance.
8. In vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field.
9. The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.
11. Depth cues that depend on the use of two eyes.
12. Perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.
15. The number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time.
17. The sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance.

1. Hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea.
3. The system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts.
4. In psychological science, the influence of bodily sensations, gestures, and other states on cognitive preferences and judgements.
5. An illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession.
6. In hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea’s membrane is stimulated.
10. Depth cues that are available to either eye alone.
13. A coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through the fluid inside it trigger nerve impulses.
14. Hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea’s receptor cells or to the auditory nerves; also called nerve deafness.
16. A tone’s experienced highness or lowness; depends on frequency.
