100
The condition where incoming light does not directly focus on the retina, but in front of it.
What is myopia?
100
The color quality of light which corresponds to the color names we use.
What is hue?
100
The area located in top of the brainstem responsible for rapid eye movements.
What is the superior colliculus?
100
The protective covering of the eye.
What is the sclera?
100
The relative change in position over time.
What is movement?
200
The distance between the peaks of waves of light, associated with color.
What is the wavelength?
200
The ratio of light reflected by an object at each wavelength.
What is spectral reflectance?
200
The area of the brain responsible for the circadian rhythm.
What is the pineal gland?
200
The part of the eye located just behind the iris, which focuses on objects.
What is the lens?
200
The motion in the world created by continual change in the position of an object relative to frame of reference.
What is Real Motion?
300
The height of a wave of light, associated with brightness.
What is intensity?
300
The theory dictating that color of light is determined by the output of a 3 cone system in the retina.
What is the Trichromatic Theory of Color Vision?
300
The pathway that contains low sensitivity and high acuity.
What is the parvocellular pathway?
300
The location of the eye where transaction takes place.
What is the retina?
300
The most common and rapid of eye movements.
What are saccades?
400
This theory suggests that there are 2 distinct ways in which our eyes work; a photopic system and a scotopic system.
What is the Duplex Theory of Vision?
400
This color is non spectral, meaning it cannot be generated by a single wavelength.
What is purple?
400
The position along the flow of information in the visual system that receives information first.
What is the primary visual cortex?
400
The automatic process where the iris contracts or relaxes with light.
What is the pupillary reflex?
400
Unable to detect motion due to damage to the medial temporal lobe.
What is akinetopsia?
500
The ability to pool light across different regions of space.
What is spacial summation?
500
The loss of color vision occurs due to damage to the occipital lobe, where vision is washed out or black and gray.
What is Cortical Achromatopsia
500
The "where" pathway responsible for landmark discrimination.
What is the dorsal pathway?
500
This location if the eye is responsible for vision at night, as well as light detection and the perception of colors on a grey scale.
What are rods?
500
The theory stating that feedback obtained from eye muscles as an eye tracks an object is important to the perception of motion.
What is the Corollary Discharge Theory?
