The process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.
What is sensation?
100
The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.
What is perception?
100
Two types of associative learning.
What are classical and operant conditioning?
100
This type of memory is analogous to "fill-in-the-blanks."
What is recall memory?
100
This is a mental predisposition that influences what we see.
What is a perceptual set?
200
The stimulation of sensory receptor cells by energy (sound, light, heat, etc.).
What is reception?
200
Each eye has a slightly different view of the environment: The more different the view, the closer the object.
What is retinal disparity?
200
Repeated pairing of the neutral stimulus and the unconditioned stimulus.

What is an unconditioned stimulus?

What is recognition?
500
Adding something desirable to increase a behavior.
What is positive reinforcement?
500
When past information interferes with learning new information.
What is proactive interference?
