Hue
A.
Central focal point in the retina, around which eyes cones cluster
B.
study of relationship between the physical characteristics of stimuli and our psychological explanation to them.
C.
for stimuli to be perceived as different, they must differ by a constant percent rather than amount
D.
retinal receptors that detect black, white and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision
E.
States that the retina has 3 types of color receptors, each especially sensitive to red, green or blue
F.
process in which we detect physical energy from the environment and then encode it as neural signals (sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment)
G.
retinal receptors that are in the center of the retina and function in daylight or well lit conditions that detect fine detail and color
H.
amount of energy in light waves- determines brightness, determined by wave height
I.
nerve that carries neural impulses from eye to brain
J.
the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50% of the time (Just Noticeable Difference)
K.
nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of stimulus (movement, shape, angle.) ie. Frog and fly
L.
info processing guided by higher level mental processes (when we draw perception from our experience or expectations)
M.
begins with sensory receptors and works up to brains integration of sensory info
N.
the process of eyes lenses changes shape o focus near or far objects in the retina
O.
dimensions of color determined by wave length
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
16.
diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation
incorrect
17.
processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously, the brains neural mode of information processing for many functions, including vision
incorrect
18.
the minimum stimulation necessary to detect a particular light, sound, pressure, taste or odor 50% of the time
incorrect
19.
the pint that optic nerve leaves the eye, creating blind spot with no receptors
incorrect
20.
process of organizing and interpreting our sensations (sensory info), enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events
incorrect
21.
distance from one wave peak to the next
incorrect
22.
theory that opposing retinal processes (red-green, yellow-blue, black-white) enable color vision.
incorrect
23.
the often unconscious activation of certain associations, predisposing ones perception, memory or response.
incorrect
24.
the light sensitive inner surface of the eye. Contains receptor rods and cones
incorrect
25.
below the absolute threshold for conscious awareness
