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