Across
- 2. Conflict between automatic and controlled processing (e.g., color-word mismatch).
- 5. Spinal cord gates control the transmission of pain signals.
- 7. The smallest level of a stimulus that can be detected at least 50% of the time.
- 8. The process of selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information.
- 9. Focusing on one conversation amidst background noise.
- 12. Focusing on specific stimuli while ignoring others.
- 13. Missing visual changes in the environment.
- 16. A mental predisposition to perceive things in a specific way.
- 18. Differentiating an object from its background.
- 19. Organizing stimuli into coherent groups (e.g., proximity, similarity).
- 20. To perceive a difference, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage.
Down
- 1. Transformation of stimulus energy into neural signals (e.g., light to electrochemical energy).
- 3. Perception driven by cognition, prior knowledge, and expectations.
- 4. Illusion caused by mismatched auditory and visual stimuli.
- 6. Emphasizes perceiving whole forms rather than separate parts.
- 10. The smallest detectable difference between two stimuli.
- 11. process of detecting and encoding environmental stimuli into neural signals.
- 14. Perception starting from raw sensory input without prior knowledge.
- 15. Explains how and when we detect faint stimuli amidst background noise, influenced by experience and expectations.
- 17. Blindness Failure to notice visible stimuli when attention is elsewhere.
