Sight
Connects the eye to the brain.
What is Optic Nerve?
Where sound is processed, if damaged, we can't process sound.
What is the primary auditory cortex?
When someone arises and walks around during their sleep.
What is sleepwalking?
The brain uses the frequency of
auditory sensory neuron firing to indicate pitch.
What is the frequency theory?
Helps nighttime vision and peripheral vision.
What is a rod?
Higher-amplitude vibrations cause greater stimulation in the basilar membrane.
What is amplitude perception?
Difficulty staying asleep/ falling asleep.
What is insomnia?
Pairs of visual neurons that work in opposition.
What is the Opponent-process theory?
Responsible for color vision, detail, and sharp vision in bright light.
What is a cone?
Conductive for sound waves- bring them into the sound system, get the sound waves to where transduction occurs, contains the eardrum
What is the middle ear
Abrupt awakenings with panic and intense emotional arousal.
What are night terrors?
3 cone photopigments work together to produce color perception (red, blue, green).
What is the trichromatic theory?
Aspects of a scene that yield depth information when viewed by only one eye.
What are monocular cues?
Damage to hair cells, being in a loud environment for too long, and problems with the basilar membrane
What is sensorineural hearing loss?
A person stops breathing for brief periods during sleep.
What is sleep apnea?
Different pitches arise from stimulation
at different places along the basilar membrane.
What is the place theory?
In the center of the retina, it contains only cones.
What is the fovea?
The arrangement of the auditory cortex, nearby frequencies are processed.
What is tonotopic organization?
Sudden sleep attacks occur during walking activities.
What is narcolepsy?
Language acquisition is based on general perceptual and learning processes and the development of cognitive abilities.
What is the cognitive language development theory?
