Across
- 2. __ agnosia; conscious precept stripped of meaning
- 4. __ interaction; genetically influenced characteristics elicit behaviours from others
- 6. height of light waves (experienced as brightness)
- 7. your entire genetic code
- 9. identical twins from a single fertilised egg
- 10. most frequent cause of damage in brain, oxygen fails to reach area
- 12. __ interaction; genetically shaped behavioural tendencies of family produce environment
- 13. __ cues; single eye determines 3D nature of 2D retinal images eg. via texture gradient
- 15. __ theory; colour vision arises from combination of 3 specialised sensors
- 19. depth of colour determined by amount of white
- 21. the background from which figure must be separated
- 23. gland; master gland behind nose controlled by hypothalamus
- 26. gene; only present when received from both parents
- 29. __ agnosia; failure to construct conscious precept
- 31. eliminating unuseful neural connections
- 35. area of damage in the brain, impaired tissue
- 36. facial blindness
- 39. glands; above kidneys, produce cortisol, involved in F-or-F
- 41. __ spatial relation; map (eg. 1 foot to the right of X)
- 42. layer of tissue at back of eye containing receptor cells
- 43. __ threshold; stimulus noticed 50% of the time
- 47. area of external space in which stimulus activates neuron
- 48. cells in eye densest in fovea, colour-sensitive
- 49. __ view; no inherent organisation to world, brain is responsible
- 50. most common kind of colour blindness
Down
- 1. central region of retina giving sharpest image
- 3. fraternal twins from two eggs + two sperm
- 5. __ cues; both eyes work together to turn 2D retinal images 3D eg. via convergence
- 8. bundle of nerves that carries info from eye, results in blind spot
- 11. __ cues; specify distance via movement, works equally with 1-2 eyes, eg. motion parallax
- 14. stimulus stands out via difference to other present stimuli
- 16. cells in eye super sensitive to light, but no colour
- 17. dimension of colour determined by wavelength
- 18. automatic adjustment of eye via lens, worsens with age
- 20. __ process theory; cells respond to 1 colour from a pair, inhibiting the complementary colour
- 22. set of perceptual characteristics that correspond to an object
- 24. stretch of DNA molecule producing specific protein
- 25. dimension of colour determined by amplitude of light waves
- 27. __ spatial relation; instruction (eg. to the right of)
- 28. how much variability of characteristic is due to genetics
- 30. process of converting electromagnetic energy into neural signals
- 32. __ of visual organisation; proximity, continuity, similarity, closure, good form
- 33. __ view; our senses precisely + accurately reflect reality
- 34. glands; secrete substances into bloodstream with numerous functions
- 37. __ view; we perceive within limits of our nervous system, evolved to reflect the world accurately
- 38. __ interaction; people choose (partly due to genes) to encounter/avoid situations
- 40. distance between light waves (experienced as colour)
- 44. __ constancy; allows vision to be stable in size, shape and colour
- 45. states stronger stimulus needs a greater change to be noticed
- 46. observable structure + behaviour of organism, part genotype/part environment
