A situation where a person correctly identifies that no signal is present?
What is a Correct Rejection?
This lobe of the brain is especially important for vision.
What is the Occipital lobe?
This is the term for fixations moving from one object or location to another.
What are saccades?
These photoreceptors are most active when looking at a blue sky.
What are S-Cones?
This is the monocular depth cue that allows us to perceive an object’s size based on knowledge of its usual size.
What is a Familiar size depth cue?
A person trying to detect a signal in a noisy environment fails to hear an actual sound. According to the signal detection theory, what is this classified as?
What is a miss?
This pathway is considered the where pathway and is important for motion perception.
What is the dorsal stream?
A rare neuropsychological disorder in which the affected individual has no perception of motion.
What is Akinetopsia?
This theory refers to the perception of color arising from competing signals between pairs of colors.
What is the color-opponent process/theory?
This is the monocular depth cue that involves objects moving at different speeds across the retina based on their distance from the observer.

Half of the axons from each eye crossover at this point.
What is the optic chiasm?
This is the effect that happens after staring at a moving object and then looking at a stationary scene and perceiving motion in the opposite direction.
What is motion aftereffect?
These photoreceptors are most active when looking at a red apple.
What are L-cones? (Long wavelength)
This is the depth cue where distant objects appear hazier and bluish due to the scattering of light in the atmosphere?"

These cells respond best to moving stimuli.
What are complex cells?
These are the 3 color-opponent pairs coded by the visual system
red v green
black v white
blue v yellow
A motion depth cue that involves the relative motion of objects as an observer moves forward or backward in a scene.
