Eye, Eye, Matey!
This part of the eye receives images upside down.
What is the retina.
This principle involves perceiving objects as similar if they share visual characteristics.
What is similarity?
This aspect of a wave determines its loudness?
What is amplitude?
These receptors send signals up the spinal cord when you touch something hot, and the spinal cord processes those signals.
What is pain?
These are laws about how the brain perceives patterns.
What are the Gestalt principles?
This cue allows both eyes to focus on a close object and prevents double vision.
What is convergence?
This principle involves filling in gaps so that something appears complete even when parts are missing.
What is closure?
This describes the ability to pick out a specific sound from many, like hearing your name in a crowded room.
What is the cocktail party effect?
This occurs when your sense of taste is influenced by your sense of smell.
What is sensory interaction?
This type of vision can’t sense color very well but is better at perceiving movement.
What is peripheral vision?
These are depth cues available to either eye alone, such as linear perspective and interposition.
What are monocular cues?
This principle involves perceiving objects that are near each other as belonging together.
What is proximity?
This is the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus.
What is selective attention?
This nerve is located in the nasal cavity and is responsible for the sense of smell.
What is the olfactory nerve?
This type of processing correlates with the senses and learning how to respond to stimuli.
What is bottom-up?
This binocular cue allows the brain to compute depth based on slightly different images from each eye.
What is retinal disparity?
The tendency to separate visual elements into an image and background
What is figure ground.
This psychological term describes the idea that the rate of nerve impulses in the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, allowing us to sense pitch.
What is frequency theory?
This theory states that the spinal cord can block or allow pain signals to the brain.
What is the gate control theory?
When you look both ways, but first toward oncoming traffic because your mom told you to, this type of processing is used.
What is top-down?
This is the reason why we see one image instead of two.
What is binocular fusion?
This phenomenon occurs when still images shown in rapid succession appear as motion, like in a loading screen.
What is the phi phenomenon?
This property of a sound wave determines pitch.
What is frequency?
This sense helps us balance and coordinate our movements by detecting the body’s position and motion.
What is the vestibular sense?
