Hearing Theory: perception of pitch occurs because different regions on the basilar membrane vibrate
What is place theory
100
This part of the eye bends entering light rays
What is the lens
100
Simultaneously extracting different kinds of information from the same visual input
What is parallel processing
100
The four basic taste
What is sweet, sour, salty, bitter
100
Pain theory: incoming pain sensations must pass through an opening in the spinal cord and that this opening could be closed, thus blocking pain signals.
What is gate control theory
200
Locating source of sound
What is auditory localization
200
This is where the optic nerve exits the back of the eye
What is the blind spot
200
Neurons that respond selectively to very specific features of more complex stimuli
What are feature detectors
200
Believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts
What is gestalt psychology
200
Transduction occurs in this area that lines the back of the eye.
What is the retina
300
Hearing Theory: perception of pitch corresponds to the rate at which the entire basilar membrane vibrates.
What is Frequency theory
300
This ensures that signals from both eyes go to both hemispheres of the brain
What is the optic chiasm
300
Left occipital lobe receives visual information from
left half of both retinas
300
Binocular Depth Cue that relies on the fact that objects within 25 feet project images to slightly different locations on the right and left retinas, so right and left eyes see slightly different views of object
What is retinal disparity
300
Transduction occurs in this shell shaped structure in the ear
What is the cochlea
400
This sense that deals with balance is located in the inner ear
What is Vestibular system
400
This is a spot in the center of the retina that contains only cones, visual acuity is greatest here
What is the fovea
400
Optical illusions, subliminal messages, and reading work due to this type of processing
What is top-down processing
400
This sense doesn't go through the thalamus to get to the cortex
What is olfaction
400
The perception of amplitude in the ear is
What is loudness
500
the perception of wavelength in the ear is this:
What is pitch.
500
This occurs when neural activity in the cell opposes activity in surrounding cells
