Sensation and Perception

3. A reflex that stabilizes vision when the head moves.
6. A receptor that responds to tissue damage and produces pain.
8. A stimulus too weak to reach conscious awareness and not processed into short term memory.
10. A depth cue created by the slightly different images each eye receives.
11. The property of a sound wave that determines pitch.
13. Detecting a stimulus based on sensitivity and decision making in the presence of noise.
15. A photoreceptor that works in low light and does not detect color.
18. The process where sensory receptors convert physical energy into neural signals.
21. The smallest change between two stimuli that can be detected half the time.
22. Reduced sensitivity to a constant stimulus after exposure over time.
25. Perceiving something based only on the physical features of the stimulus.
26. The structure that receives information from olfactory receptors and processes smell.
27. The idea that larger initial stimuli require larger changes for the difference to be noticed.
28. A structure that contains taste receptor cells for detecting chemicals.
29. A model explaining how the brain may suppress pain if responding to it reduces survival.
30. A condition where stimulation of one sense triggers experience in another sense.

1. Hearing loss caused by problems with the eardrum or ossicles.
2. A photoreceptor responsible for color vision and detail.
4. Interpreting sensory information using expectations and prior knowledge.
5. The center of the retina containing many cones that provides the sharpest vision.
7. The property of a sound wave that determines loudness.
9. A receptor in the cochlea that responds to fluid movement and starts auditory transduction.
12. A color vision theory that explains afterimages through paired color receptors.
14. A color vision theory based on activation of three types of cones.
16. The fluid filled inner ear structure where hair cells trigger action potentials.
17. Failing to notice something visible because attention is focused elsewhere.
19. The quality of sound that allows you to distinguish different instruments playing the same note.
20. Hearing loss caused by damage to hair cells or issues sending signals to the brain.
23. The bundle of axons that carries visual information to the brain and creates the blind spot.
24. A depth cue that can be used with one eye such as size or linear perspective.
