- 34. The trichromatic theory and the opponent-process theory cannot easily explain color _______, the ability to recognize colors despite changes in lighting.
- 37. This is better described as color vision deficiency.
- 38. An inability to recognize objects despite otherwise satisfactory vision is called visual _______ (meaning "visual lack of knowledge").
- 39. It is the number of compressions per second of a sound, measured in hertz.
- 42. Loudness is determined by the number of _______ cells.
- 43. The inability to recognize faces due to damage of several brain areas.
- 48. This stream through the temporal cortex is called the "what" pathway, because ti is specialized for identifying and recognizing objects.
- 49. This part of the inner ear contains three fluid filled tunnels.
- 52. Light striking the rods and cones _______ their spontaneous output.
- 53. This stream goes through the parietal cortex.
- 54. Cells in the _______ temporal cortex respond to identifiable objects.
- 56. Light enters the eye through and opening in the center of the iris.
- 57. What results from the stimulation of structures on the taste buds?
- 58. This type of deafness can be inherited or caused by prenatal problems and early childhood disorders.
- 60. senses allow animals to find food, avoid danger, and even find mates.
- 61. This wave is a compression of air, water, or another medium (like gas or plasma)
Down
- 1. A gyrus brain area of the inferior temporal cortex that recognizes faces.
- 2. Stereoscopic depth perception requires the brain to detect __________ disparity.
- 3. Certain children are born with this, it's known as the "lazy eye," a condition in which the eyes do not point in the same direction.
- 4. It is an input stimulation from both eyes.
- 6. Unlike simple cells, this cell does not respond to the exact location of a stimulus.
- 8. This is a type of detector-neurons whose responses indicate the presence of a particular feature.
- 10. This cell has a receptive field with fixed excitatory and inhibitory zones.
- 11. The cell type of visual cortex cell that resembles complex cells; responds best to stimuli of a precisely limited type, anywhere in a large receptive field, with a strong inhibitory field at one end of its field.
- 13. Each cell in the visual system of the brain has a _______ field, which is the area in visual space that excites or inhibits it.
- 15. In this theory, the color is perceived through the relative rates of response by three kinds of cones, each one maximally sensitive to a different set of wavelengths.
- 16. This blindness is an impaired ability to perceive movement.
- 17. These cells are the auditory receptor.
- 24. Neurons with larger cell bodies and receptive fields and are distributed evenly throughout the retina.
- 27. This is a frequent or constant ringing in the ear.
- 29. The familiar structure of flesh and cartilage attached to each side of the head.
- 31. This cell gets its information from bipolar cells and send it to other bipolar, and ganglion cells.
- 33. Secondary Auditory Cortex corresponds to what?
- 35. Sound waves enter the auditory canal and strike this membrane.
- 36. This is a color after-image, that results of staring at a colored object for a prolonged length of time and the looking at a white surface, the image is seen as a negative image, with a replacement of red with green, green with red, yellow and blue with each other, and black and white with each other.
- 37. This deafness is the failure of the bones of the middle ear to transmit sound waves properly to the cochlea.
- 40. It is the perception of the frequency of a sound wave.
- 41. Hair cells are rooted in the _______ membrane.
- 44. For each aspect of visual experience, researchers identify a __________ period.
- 45. Most ganglion cell axons go to the lateral _______ nucleus, part of the thalamus.
- 46. This process theory perceives color on a continuum from red to green, another from yellow to blue, and another from white to black.
