|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sensation | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events
🗑
|
||||
| Top-down proscessing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information
🗑
|
||||
| psychophysics | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time
🗑
|
||||
| Signal decetion theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| Subliminal | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response.
🗑
|
||||
| Difference Threshold | show 🗑
|
||||
| Weber's law | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | dimished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.
🗑
|
||||
| Transduction | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak of the next. Electromagnetic wavelenghts vary from the short blips of cosmic rays to the long pulses of radio transmission.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The dimension of color that is determined by wavelength of light; what we know as the color names blue, green and so forth.
🗑
|
||||
| Intensity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters
🗑
|
||||
| Iris | show 🗑
|
||||
| Lens | show 🗑
|
||||
| Retina | show 🗑
|
||||
| Accommadtion | show 🗑
|
||||
| Rods | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cones | show 🗑
|
||||
| optic nerve | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a "blind" spot because no receptor cells are located there.
🗑
|
||||
| Fovea | show 🗑
|
||||
| Feature Detectors | show 🗑
|
||||
| Parallel Processing | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The theory that the retina contains three different color receptors-one most sensitive to red, one to green, one to blue-which, when stimulated in combination, can produce the perception of any color
🗑
|
||||
| Opponent-process theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The senseor act of hearing
🗑
|
||||
| show | The number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time (for example, per second)
🗑
|
||||
| Pitch | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The chamber between the eardrum and the cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, and stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea's oval window.
🗑
|
||||
| Cochlea | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs.
🗑
|
||||
| Place theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| Frequency theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| Conduction hearing loss | show 🗑
|
||||
| Sensorineural hearing loss | show 🗑
|
||||
| Cochlear implant | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts.
🗑
|
||||
| show | The sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance.
🗑
|
||||
| Gate-control theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An organized whole. Gesalt psychologists emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes
🗑
|
||||
| show | The organization of the visual field into objects (the figures) that stand out from their surroundings ( the ground)
🗑
|
||||
| Grouping | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.
🗑
|
||||
| show | depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A binocular cue for perceiving depth; By comparing images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance-the greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession.
🗑
|
||||
| Perceptual constancy | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.
🗑
|
||||
| show | In vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field.
🗑
|
||||
| Perceptual set | show 🗑
|
||||
| Human factors psychology | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The controversial claim that perception can occur apart from sensory input; includes telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition.
🗑
|
||||
| Parasychology | show 🗑
