These are events that control attention.
What are decisions, interests, or past experiences?
This is the stimulus for hearing.
What is sound?
When the eyeball is the correct size and is not the perfect focus but the best we can do.

What is frequency?
The size of the afterimage we perceive depends on how far away it appears to be.
What is Emmert's Law of Afterimages?
An explanation for this process in which this process is used by our perceptual systems to "link" up local regions of contrast into a single object boundary.
What is contour integration?
Infants as young as 1-2 months have a natural preference to look at this type of design instead of plain homogenous surfaces.
What are patterns?
Perception of details in a scene is limited by these three factors.
What is memory, crowding, and activity.
This is the hertz (hz) to which humans can hear from but vary from person to person.
What is 20-20,000 Hz?
This is the optical counterpart of an object as is produced by reflection from a mirror, refraction by a lens, or the passage of luminous rays through a small aperture and their reception on a surface.
What is an image?
This theory shows how connections between neighboring neurons in V1 can explain contour integration. Portions of a contour may fall in the receptive fields of different but nearby V1 neurons.
What is the Association Field Theory?
What is the Bayesian theory of cue combination?
An experiment in which syllables from words are repeated in one ears but when heard your own name in the other ear, you would then repeat syllables from that other ear.

What is mid level vision?
These are basic visual functions that improve over the first few months of life.
What are visual acuity and contrast sensitivity?
The conclusion as to how it is that attention affects perception.
What is attention affects perception mainly by "tuning out" unattended things?
This property discovered by Von Bekesy in the inner ear moves in a pattern dependent on the frequency of tone.
