AP Psychology/Rabadan
Unit 5 Terms List/Sensation and Perception
Concepts:
 Know your diagrams of the eye and ear! How do we see and hear?
 Understand the featured of a SOUND WAVE (amplitude, frequency and their
relationship to pitch and loudness)
 Why can we see stars in the sky better when we do not look directly at them?
 Why can we see color better when we look directly at the object (marker demo)?
 Why does smell trigger memories so strongly?
 How do our senses adapt? (afterimages, orange juice-toothpaste, sandpaper)
 Difference between sensation and perception?
