  1. 1. Localization: The brain's ability to determine the location of a sound source in space.
  2. 3. Interaction: The principle that one sense can influence another, such as when smell affects taste
  3. 4. The process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.
  4. 6. The conversion of sensory stimuli into neural impulses that can be understood by the brain.
  5. 7. Perception: The brain's interpretation of the frequency of sound waves,
  6. 9. Systems: Responsible for smell
  7. 10. The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information to make sense of the world around us.
  8. 12. Blindness: the failure to notice large changes in one's environment when the change occurs simultaneously with a visual disruption.
  9. 13. Threshold: The minimum amount of stimulation required for a stimulus to be detected by a sensory system.
  10. 14. Difference (JND) It's the minimal difference needed for a person to perceive that a change has occurred.
  11. 16. Sense: The sense of body orientation and movement, including balance and spatial awareness.
  12. 17. A type of color vision deficiency where an individual has only two types of functioning cone cells instead of the normal three.
  13. 20. The light-sensitive inner surface of the eye containing photoreceptor cells that convert light into neural signals.
  14. 21. Blindness: an individual fails to notice an unexpected stimulus in their visual field when their attention is focused on something else.
  15. 22. A rare form of color blindness where an individual has only one type of functioning cone cell, or none at all.
  16. 24. Receptors: Specialized sensory neurons in the skin that detect changes in temperature.
  17. 25. Spot Area on the retina where the optic nerve exits the eye, lacking photoreceptor cells. It's a spot where vision is absent, as there are no light-sensitive cells to detect visual stimuli.

  1. 1. Adaptation: The process by which sensory receptors become less responsive to constant stimuli over time.
  2. 2. Photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for vision in low light conditions and detecting motion.
  3. 5. Processing "Details to Big Picture" is a way our brain makes sense of information by starting with the small details and then building up to a complete perception.
  4. 6. Processing "Big Picture to Details" involves interpreting sensory information based on the larger context, prior knowledge, and expectations.
  5. 8. Receptors: Specialized cells located on the tongue and in the mouth that detect different tastes.
  6. 11. Photoreceptor cells in the retina responsible for color vision and detail in bright light.
  7. 13. Visual sensations that persist after a stimulus is removed.
  8. 15. Party Effect: our ability to focus on a single conversation in a noisy environment, like a crowded party, while tuning out other stimuli.
  9. 18. The distance between sound wave peaks.
  10. 19. The sense of taste, involving receptors on the tongue that detect different flavors.
  11. 23. Attention: the process of focusing on a specific aspect of information while ignoring others.
