Question 16
16.

Question 17
17.

Place the following steps to the vision process in order.

  1. light passes through the pupil
  2. light is focused by the lens onto the retina
  3. light passes through the cornea
  4. axons send messages from the ganglion cells to the optic nerve
  5. photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) convert light into neural impulses and send them to ganglion cells
  6. visual cortex in the occipital lobe interprets signals
Question 18
18.

Group the following parts of the ear into the appropriate categories:

  • ossicles
  • auditory canal
  • pinnae
Question 19
19.

Sort the following theories into the appropriate categories:

  • trichromatic theory
  • Volley theory
  • frequency theory
  • opponent process theory
  • place theory
  • Vision Theory
Question 20
20.

Place the following steps of hearing into the correct order.

  1. sound waves travel down the auditory canal
  2. ossicles (stapes) press against the cochlea
  3. sound waves vibrate the ear drum
  4. vibrations cause the ossicles to vibrate
Question 21
21.

Sort the concepts below into the correct categories.

  • retinal disparity
  • texture gradient
  • clarity
  • relative height
  • relative size
Question 22
22.

According to Weber's Law, which of the following is true?

Question 23
23.

There is a fan that is constantly running in Melinda's room. Most days, however, she forgets that it's on, even though it is noisy. Which idea explains why Melinda doesn't hear her fan?

Question 24
24.

Which concepts explains why we perceive the door in this picture is moving?

tendency to perceive a complete figure even if gaps exist
closure
idea that people like to group similar items together
It is faster than top-down processing.
It always involves visual stimuli only.
optic nerve carries signals to the brain
cochlea
semi-circular canals
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
auditory nerve
Outer Ear
Middle Ear
Inner Ear
Hearing Theory
the pinnae collects sound waves
hair cells transmit neural impulses to auditory nerve
impulses end up in the auditory cortext of the temporal lobe
vibrations are passed through the fluid in the cochlea
hair cells (auditory receptor cells) are stimulated
convergence
monocular clues
binocular clues
