Review Quiz #3: Sensation and Perception
Chapters 5 and 6
1. Some important parts of the eye include the _________________, which changes
shape to focus images on the retina, the _________________ which is a
protective covering, and the ___________________ which regulates the pupil.
The ____________________, which transduces light into neural impulses,
contains the ___________________________ for night and peripheral vision, and
_______________ which provide color and day time vision. The blind spot is
found at the ______________________, where it exits the eye.
2. The lens ability to change shape to adjust light intake is called
_____________________ . Visual ______________ describes the sharpness of
vision.
3. Sound waves come into the ear through the ___________________ . The
______________________ converts there sound waves into vibrations. The tiny
bones in the middle ear that compress sound vibrations are called the
__________________ , ___________________ and ___________________ . The
snail like structure where vibrations are transformed into neural impulse is called
the ____________________ . The neural impulse is then sent from the basilar
membrane to the _______________ lobe of the brain.
4. Absolute thresholds are the amount of stimulation required for someone to detect
a stimulus _____ of the time. The minimum stimulus needed to detect a
difference between 2 stimuli is called the _______ . According to
_________________________ , the difference threshold for 2 stimuli remain at a
constant percentage. For example if the JND between 2 can of vegetables is 10
and 12 ounces, the JND of the 30oz can would be __________ oz.
5. The trichromatic theory (Young-Helmoltz) suggests that we see color by three
major receptor cells based on the colors _______________ , _____________ ,
and _______________ . The _________________________ theory argues that if
one combination of color receptor cells are activated, the others are temporarily
blocked out.
6. Color hue is determined by ________________ , while brightness is determined
by __________________ . The loudness of sound is determined by
_________________ of a wave, while the pitch is determined by
______________.
7. the four taste sensations are __________________ , _________________ ,
_______________________ , and __________________.
8. Two additional senses are ____________________ , which monitors your bodies
movements (you know what parts are moving where) and the
_____________________ , which controls balance.
9. The __________________________ occurs when two or more alternating
blinking lights create the appearance of movement.
10. _________________________ are distance cues of visual perception which
include relative size, relative motion and texture gradient.
_________________________ are depth cues which include depth perception,
including convergence and __________________________. All of these cues
help to create perceptual grouping of an organized whole, associated with
___________________ psychology. (whole is greater than sum of parts)
11. The ______________ theory of hearing states that different sound waves trigger
different parts of the cochlea, while the _____________ theory proposes that the
cochlea is activated by different frequencies.
12. ______________________ processing, also known as processing, occurs when
the brain organizes sensory information, and ____________________ processing
occurs when a sensory image is carried to the brain.
