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