the process of building a visual experience from smaller pieces.
What is bottom-up processing
100
This characteristic of sound waves determines what we perceive as pitch.
What is frequency
100
Sound vibrations travel to the end of the auditory canal and hit this (commonly known as the ear drum)
What is tympanic membrane
100
These cells, located on the top layers of skin, aresensitive to different tactile qualities (e.g., grooves, shape, movement)
What are mechanoreceptors
200
The process by which the muscles control the shape ofthe lens to adjust to viewing objects at different distances
What is accommodation
200
occurs when the perception of the whole guides perception of smaller elemental features.
What is top-down processing
200
This characteristic of sound waves determines what we perceive as loudness
What is amplitude
200
These are the three bones of the middle ear
What is hammer, anvil, and stirrup
200
This is a complex physical and emotional experience associatedwith actual or potential damage.
What is pain
300
At this point, the strands of the optic nerve cross to the opposite side of the brain
What is the optic chiasm
300
Color perception is partially determined by this characteristic of light waves; BONUS- Name the range visible to humans
What is wavelength; 400nm to 700nm
300
This is what we call sounds below 20Hz
What is subsonic
300
These play a key role in maintaining balance
What is semi-circular canals
300
This theory proposes that the spinal cord regulates the experience of pain by either opening of closing neural channels involved in pain sensation.
What is gate control theory of pain
400
a depth cue in which the texture of a surface becomes more tightly packed together and denser as the surface moves to the backgroud
What is texture gradient
400
This theory states that there are three kinds of cones: Red, green, and blue. Additionally, that all color we experience must result from a mixing of these three colors of light.
What is trichromatic color theory
400
In hertz, this is the range that humans hear.
What is 400 to 4000 Hz
400
The bony tube, curled like a snail's shell and filled with fluid
What is cochlea
400
Our bodies natural pain-killers
What are endorphins
500
this depth cue happenswhen anojbectclosertotheviewer often overlap with those farther away
What is interposition
500
this theory states that cones are linked together in three opposing color pairs: blue/yellow, red/green, and black/white.
What is opoonent process theory
500
Sounds above 20,000 Hz are called
What is ultrasonic
500
This runs through the cochlea and contains hairs cells, which tranduce sound waves into neural information
What is the basilar membrane.
500
When a person experiences sensations in one sense when a different sense is stimulated.
