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