        Help!  

Front
Back
Sensation   How we detect and encode physical energy  
🗑
Perception   How we organize and intrepret sensation  
🗑
Bottom up processing   start with sensory info and then interpret  
🗑
top down precessing   start with mental idea and apply to sensory info (reading)  
🗑
Absolute threshold   min stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulation  
🗑
difference threshold   min difference between two stimuli required for detection  
🗑
subliminal   below our absolute threshold, percieved unconciously  
🗑
electromagnetic energy   color: wavelength=color, height=brightness  
🗑
vision   light enters cornea, passes through pupil,pupil size controlled by iris, lens focuses light on retina (upside down),  
🗑
fovea   point of central focus  
🗑
Retina   receptor cells  
🗑
rods   black/white, dim light  
🗑
optic nerve   carries messages from the eye to the brain  
🗑
blind spot   where optic nerve leaves the eye  
🗑
optic chiasm   optic nerve chords  
🗑
Trichromatic theroy   young and helmholtz: receptors for red, green, and blue color, all other colors are a combination  
🗑
opponet process theroy   some neurons turn on or off, red/green, blue/yellow, black/ white  
🗑
color constancy   colors are percieved as constant even if sensation changes  
🗑
soundwaves   wavelength=pitch, height=loudness  
🗑
hearing/auditory   outerear funnels in sound waves through auditory canal to ear drum, vibrations sends messages to midear to cochlea which vibrates and moves fluid causes ripples in baislarmembrane-lined w/hairs, hair cells send neural messages thru auditory nerve to brain  
🗑
theroies of hearing   place theroy, frequency theroy  
🗑
place theroy   percieve differncet pitches at different "places" on membrane  
🗑
frequency theroy   percieve pitch by "frequency" of vibrations on membrane  
🗑
touch   4 skin senses, more alert to sensations from others, processed in sensory cortex (proprialtal lobe-thalamus)  
🗑
4 skin sensations   pressure, warmth, cold, pain  
🗑
taste   5 sensations, taste receptors on tongue, sensory interaction,  
🗑
5 taste sensations   sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami (meaty)  
🗑
Smell/olfaction   scent receptors at top of nose, unique receptors for 1000 smells, combien for 10,000 total smells, connect to limbic system  
🗑
Kinesthesis   sense fo position and movement of each body part  
🗑
vestibular sense   sense of bldy movement, position, and balance  
🗑
Gestalt   whole form  
🗑
figure ground   percieve object as seperate from background  
🗑
grouping   organizing figures  
🗑
proximity   nearby figures go together  
🗑
similarity   like figures go together  
🗑
continuity   patterns are uninteruppted  
🗑
connectedness   single unit  
🗑
closure   fill in gaps  
🗑
depth perception   binocular cues (rely on both eyes), monocular cues (one eye)  
🗑
retinal disparity   difference between the images seen by each eye  
🗑
convergence   how inward the eyes are turned  
🗑
relative size   smaller=farther away  
🗑
interposition   object blocking, another is closer  
🗑
relative height   higher=farther  
🗑
relative motion   think objects are mooving when we are actually moving  
🗑
linear perspective   parallel lines converge with distance  
🗑
light and shadow   dimmer=farther  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
