100
A small adjustable opening surrounded by the iris.
What is the pupil?
100
hearing
Define audition
100
The process where sensory receptors and nervous system receive stimuli from the environment
What is sensation
100
processing aspects of a problem simultaneously, the brains mode of info.
What is parallel processing
100
researcher simultaneously touches real and fake hand, then hits fake hand with hammer.
What is rubber hand experiment
200
The process where the lens focuses the rays by changing it's curvature.
What is accommodation?
200
waves that vary in size
What is a frequency
200
process of interpreting sensory info, to recognize meaningful objects/events
What is perception
200
detector cells respond to specific features
What is feature detection
200
experience of pain, much more than neural messages to the brain
What is bio psychosocial approach
300
The Rods detects black, white and gray; and our necessary for peripheral and twilight vision when cone doesn't respond.
What is the function of the rods?
300
it is caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sounds waves to cochlea.
What causes conduction hearing loss?
300
analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information.
What is Bottom-up processing
300
system for sensing position and movement of body parts
What is kinesthesis
300
one sense may influence another, when smell influences taste
What is sensory interaction
400
When the brain divides a visual scene into sub dimensions; such as colors, movement, form, and depth. (works simultaneously)
Define parallel processing
400
a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea.
What is a cochlear implant?
400
info processing guided by high level mental processes. opposite of bottom down.
What is top down processing
400
sense of body movement and position including sense of balance
What is vestibular sense
400
experiment where ice cold water passes through a separate tube as warm water and we perceive it as hot
What is warm + cold= hot
500
Retinal Process, Feature detection, Parallel Processing, Recognition.
Give a brief summary of visual information.
500
(between the eardrum and cochlea) contains 3 tiny bones called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
What parts are in the Middle ear?
500
focusing of conscious awareness on a stimuli
What is selective attention
