|---|---|
| An individual's ability to focus on a particular conversation in a noisy crowded room is called | selective attention |
| which of the following scenarios most clearly describes the effects of a strong kinesthetic sense | being able to tell exact bodily position without looking at the body |
| Balance is influenced by the | semicircular canals |
| If Carmelita stares at a red spot for one minute and then shifts her gaze to a white piece of paper, she is likely to experience an afterimage that is | green |
| The change in the curvature of the lens that enables the eye to focus on objects at various distances is called | accommodation |
| Climbing an irregular set of stairs is more difficult for an individual who wears a patch over one eye primarily because | some depth perception is lost |
| Eleanor Gibson and her colleagues have used the visual cliff to measure an infant's ability to perceive | depth |
| Gustatory receptors are sensitive to all of the following taste qualities EXCEPT | spicy |
| David Hubel and Torsten Wiesel’s research on responses of the brain to visual stimuli showed that | many cortical cells respond most strongly to specific visual information |
| The tendency of most people to identify a three-sided figure as a triangle, even when one of its sides is incomplete, is the result of a perceptual process known as | closure |
| A person is asked to listen to a series of tones presented in pairs, and asked to say whether the tones in each pair are the same or different in pitch. In this situation the experimenter is most likely measuring the individual's | difference threshold |
| People listening to rock music played backward often perceive an evil message if specifically told what to listen for. That phenomenon best illustrates | top-down processing |
| Receptors that are especially important for helping a person maintain balance are located in the | inner ear |
| The most common form of color blindness is related to deficiencies in the | red-green system |
| Which of the following is the best example of the opponent process theory? | Fred stares at a green book for a minute, and then when he looks at a white page, he sees the color red. |
| The perceived pitch of a tone is largely determined by its | frequency |
| A person with sight in only one eye lacks which of the following visual cues for seeing in depth? | Retinal disparity |
| Photoreceptors relay visual information to the brain through which of the following cells? | Bipolar and ganglion |
| The place in the retina where the optic nerve exits to the brain is called the | blind spot |
| The thalamus processes information for all of the following senses EXCEPT | smell |
| The coiled tube in the inner ear that contains the auditory receptors is called the | cochlea |
| The general function of the bones in the middle ear is to | transfer sound information from the tympanic membrane to the oval window |
| Which of the following explains transduction? | The process by which sensory stimuli are converted into neural signals |
| The reversible figure above illustrates the Gestalt organizing principle of | figure-ground |
| Visual acuity is best in the | fovea |
| As you watch a friend walk away from you, your retinal image of your friend gets smaller. Despite this, you do not perceive him to be shrinking. This is an example of | size constancy |
| When a pair of lights flashing in quick succession seems to an observer to be one light moving from place to place, the effect is referred to as | the phi phenomenon |
| The intensity at which a sound becomes audible for a given individual is known as the individual's | absolute threshold |
| When struck by light energy, cones and rods in the retina generate neural signals that then activate the | bipolar cells |
