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