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