100
This is the detection of environmental stimuli based on your basic senses.
Sensation
100
What sense is olfaction?
Smell
100
This is the further processing of stimuli and how the brain interprets it as something meaningful
Perception
100
The monocular cue that allows us to perceive distance when we see two parallel lines moving towards each other.
Linear Perspective
100
This is the only one of our 5 senses that is resistant to sensory adaptation.
Vision
200
These receptors in the eye help you see at night and support your peripheral vision.
Rods
200
The process of taking sensory info and assembling and integrating it.
Bottom Up Processing
200
These receptors in the eye help you did in detail during the light and in color.
Cones
200
The theory that when we have exhausted the receptor cells for one color, we will perceive its opposite.
Opponent Process Theory
200
In perception of the pitch of a sound, if the frequency of the sound is 100 waves per second then the neuron fires at 100 pulses per second describe what theory of sound localization.
Frequency Theory
300
The process of changing stimulus energy into neural impulses is
Transduction
300
In this form of processing, assumptions are made about what we expect to see.
Top-down processing.
300
When we look head-on at a rectangular picture frame hanging on the wall, it appears as a rectangle. If we walk off of to the side and look at the frame from an angle, we still recognize that it’s in the shape of a rectangle
Shape Constancy
300
This is the Gestalt law that says our mind forms outlines or boundaries around a triangle that are not there.
Closure
300
This is the only sense for which information is not routed through the thalamus.
Smell
400
The minimum intensity of stimulation that must occur before you experience sensation 50% of the time
Absolute threshold
400
This principle explains why we don’t notice a sound that we’ve heard for a long time or a smell that we’ve smelt for a long time.
Sensory Adaptation
400
The minimum amount of stimulus intensity change required for that person to detect that change.
Difference threshold
400
In this binocular cue each eye receives a slightly different perspective or image, however, a person does not see two separate images. The images overlap in the center, and the brain connects these together into one seamless view.
Retinal Disparity
400
These bones are in the middle ear and help amplify soundwaves.
Ossicle Bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup)
500
The principle that for two stimuli to be perceived as different, they must differ by a constant minimum percentage.
Weber's Law
500
These are the 5 qualities of taste.
Sweet, salty, sour, biter, savory (umami)
500
The theory that we perceive all color by combining the colors red, green, and blue.
Trichromatic Color Theory
500
Phi Phenomenon
500
What is happening when your eye tries to focus on something and the lens changes shape.
Accommodation
