Vision
What are the 4 parts of our eye that work together in the process of vision?
The cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve.
Illusions
Incorrect perceptions.
What are the 2 Chemical senses?
Taste (gustation) and smell (olfaction)
Hearing
Audition
Macular degeneration
Medical condition that impacts the central vision and day time vision. That degenerates/gets worse overtime.
What is retinal disparity?
Sight from one eye or the other.
Kinesthesis
Body movement, where receptors immediately send messages to the brain. Without it movements would be uncoordinated.
Psychophysics
Relation between the physical stimuli, that lead to sensations and perceptions.
Damage caused by damage to the cochlea, hair cells, or auditory neurons. The inner hear, resulting in hearing loss.
Sensorineural Deafness
Glaucoma
Increased eye pressure and damages the optic nerve.
Absolute vs Difference Threshold
Somesthesis
What are the five recognized taste experiences?
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami.
--Flavor, smell, and texture can factor into taste.
Conduction deafness
Happens in the outer or middle ear, that block the ability to hear.
Figure Ground Perception
Division of distinguishing an object from its background.
Ex. hearing a side conservation out of a noisy classroom.
Vestibular
Regulated by the inner ear, mainly from the 3 semicircular canals.
Is the organization of sensory information into meaningful experiences.
Perception
Stroop Test
Reading the word through different colors, and the word being a color.
What are frequency and amplitude, in hearing?
Frequency (rate) - High or low pitch sounds from vibrations
Amplitude (loudness) - Height of sound waves.
Gestalt
Experience by organizing pieces of information into a whole.
Monocular vs Binocular Depth Cue
Monocular is the perception of one eye and binocular is the perception of both eyes together.
What occurs when a stimulus activates a receptor and sensory receptors pick up the information.
Sensation
When you mix up senses.
Synesthesia
Snail-like shape, with a fluid filled tube that holds sensory receptors in the ear?
Cochlea
Constancy
We tend to see things in the same way regardless of a changed condition.
