| show | A theory that attempts to understand the means by which we detect the presence of faint stimuli
🗑
|
||||
| subliminal | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the activation of certain associations that predispose someone to give a certain response, recall a specific memory or perceive something in certain way, that usually occurs unconsciously.

| show | the conversion of one form of energy to another
🗑
|
||||
| show | the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the dimension of color that is defined by the wavelength of light, the names of colors
🗑
|

| pupil | show 🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| lens | show 🗑
|

| show | when the lens changes shape to focus objects at a specific distance on the retina
🗑
|
||||
| retina | show 🗑
|
||||
| acuity | show 🗑
|
||||
| nearsightedness | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | a condition in which distant objects can be more easily seen that near ones because the images of near objects are projected behind the retina

🗑
|
||||
| show | nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific aspects of a stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement
🗑
|
||||
| show | the brain's natural mode of information processing, in which several aspects of a stimulus; such as shape, color, and motion, are processed at once.
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that the retina contains three different color receptors - red, green, and blue - which can produce any color when stimulated in combination
🗑
|
||||
| opponent-process theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color despite changing illumination

|
||||
| show | the part of the ear that contains the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs
🗑
|
||||
| place theory | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that the rate of neural impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, determining its pitch
🗑
|
||||
| conduction hearing loss | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or the auditory nerves
🗑
|
||||
| show | a device that converts sounds into electrical impulses to stimulate the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea
🗑
|
||||
| show | the theory that pain is controlled through a neurological gate in the spinal cord that can allow pain signals or allow them to pass through to the brain.
