Which type of processing involves the interpretation of sensations and is influenced by available knowledge and expectancies?
Top-Down processing
Which photoreceptors give us the ability to perceive color?

What is defined as what happens when sensory information is detected by a sensory receptor?
Sensation
What is the process of losing conditioning over time called?
Extinction.
What type of conditioning was used in the infamous Little Albert study?
Classical Conditioning, because it involved involuntary fear.
Gambling at a slot machine is an example of which reinforcement schedule?
Variable Ratio
What is defined as the way that sensory information is interpreted and consciously experienced?
Perception
What is it called when a conditioned response suddenly returns after being extinct?
Spontaneous Recovery
Your eyes receive light waves and convert this energy into neural messages that travel to your brain and are processed as sight. What is that process called?
Transduction
What aspect of a wavelength changes when intensity or loudness changes?
Amplitude
The amplitude of a wave is the height of a wave as measured from the highest point on the wave________ to the lowest point on the wave ________.
Crest, Trough.
What reinforcement schedule would it be if you go to work and receive a paycheck once every week?
Fixed Interval
Is purple (violet) associated with shorter, intermediate, or longer wavelengths?
Shorter
What is the name of the individual who is being observed during observational learning?

Temporal lobe
Classical and Operant are both forms of what type of learning?
Associative learning.
What does "Congenital deafness" mean?
It means the person is born without the ability.
If you see someone slip on an icy pathway, and learn to take another path, what type of learning is that?

What part of the eye is used to focus the image (light) onto the fovea?
Lens
What type of reinforcement/punishment does observational learning use?
Vicarious = experienced in the imagination through the feelings or actions of another person.
What is the slightly different view of the world that each eye receives, and is a distance cue that allows us to perceive the depth of a given visual stimulus?
Binocular Disparity
Josh tells a lie and is grounded. He does this several times, finally learning that his behavior (lying) is associated with a consequence (being grounded).
Is this Classical, or Operant?
Operant, it is a voluntary behavior.
What theory uses afterimages as proof of 'continuation of a visual sensation after removal of the stimulus'?
