Taste Receptors
Photoreceptors
The sense of taste, processed by taste buds on the tongue.
Gustation
The ability to determine the origin of a sound based on differences in timing and intensity between the ears.
Sound Localization
Julie shows her mom how good she is at balancing on one leg. This is due to what part of her ear?
Semicircular canal
The conversion of physical energy (such as light, sound, or pressure) into neural signals that the brain can interpret.
Transduction

Volley Theory
Transduction
A theory stating that color perception is controlled by opposing pairs of colors (red-green, blue-yellow, black-white). Leads to afterimages
Trichromatic Color Theory
Opponent-Process Theory
Prosopagnosia
Opponent-Process Theory
Chemical signals released by organisms that influence the behavior or physiology of others of the same species.
Pheromones
A theory stating that pitch perception is based on where vibrations occur along the cochlea’s basilar membrane (high frequencies at the base, low frequencies at the apex).

Just Noticeable Difference
Absolute Threshold
A condition in which close objects appear blurry because the eye focuses images behind the retina.
farsightedness
The sensory system responsible for detecting odors through receptors in the nasal cavity.
_______ system
Olfactory
The height of a wave, which determines brightness in vision and loudness in hearing.
Amplitude or Pitch
Amplitude
The principle that senses can influence each other, such as smell affecting taste perception.
Sensory Interaction
Which psychological term/concept explains why when curling dumbbells, Eddie hall feels the difference between the 100lb one in his right hand and the 102lb one in his left?
JND
Neurons in the retina that receive signals from bipolar cells and transmit visual information through the optic nerve.
Ganglion Cells

Individuals with a high density of taste buds, making them highly sensitive to bitter and spicy foods.
Hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea’s hair cells or the auditory nerve.
Sensioneural Deafness
A theory that suggests the spinal cord contains a neurological "gate" that can block or allow pain signals to reach the brain.
Gate Control Theory
The process by which sensory receptors detect and transmit environmental stimuli to the brain.
