Which part of the retina translates color and fine detail?

Optic Nerve

Cones

Rods

Fovea

The way we perceive objects is determined by

how others see it.

seasonal winds

our expectations and attitudes about what we see

The lens of the eye is responsible for

converting light into electrical impulses

keeping objects in focus

processing an image

allowing enough light to enter the eye

Rods in the retina allow us to recognize

faces

colors

movement on the periphery 

the depth, or distance, of objects

drag the term and line it up with the defintion

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
closure		idea that people prefer to see smooth patterns rather than disrupted oned
law of continuity		nearness of objects or figures to each other
law of similarity		tendency to perceive a complete figure even if gaps exist
proximity		idea that people like to group similar items together

Which part of the eye controls light entry?

Pupil

Iris

Lens

Retina

What term describes the minimum detectable stimulus intensity?

Just noticeable difference

Perceptual set

Absolute threshold

Sensory adaptation

What is the term for how we gather information from our senses?

Observation

Sensation

Reaction

Perception

Which process interprets sensory information to give it meaning?

Sensation

Memory

Attention

Perception

What is the difference between sensation and perception?

Sensation is detection; perception is interpretation of stimuli.

Sensation involves interpretation; perception is detection.

Perception occurs before sensation.

Sensation only relates to sight.

How does bottom-up processing influence perception?

It ignores sensory input completely.

It starts with sensation and builds to understanding.

It relies solely on prior knowledge.

It is faster than top-down processing.

It always involves visual stimuli only.

Which structure gives the eye its color?

Sclera

Iris

Retina

Pupil

What part of the ear collects sound waves?

Middle ear

Inner ear

Cochlea

Outer ear

What is the function of the cochlea?

Balance the body

Protect the inner ear

Convert sound waves to electrical signals

Amplify sound waves

What does Gestalt theory primarily focus on in perception?

Perception depends solely on past experience.

The whole is different from the sum of parts.

Only visual elements are considered.

Individual components alone matter more.

Which term is commonly associated with Gestalt psychology?

Cognitive dissonance resolution.

Depth perception influence.

Learning through reinforcement.

Figure-ground distinction.

Place the following steps to the vision process in order.

light passes through the cornea
light passes through the pupil
light is focused by the lens onto the retina
axons send messages from the ganglion cells to the optic nerve
visual cortex in the occipital lobe interprets signals
optic nerve carries signals to the brain
photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) convert light into neural impulses and send them to ganglion cells

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

cochlea
auditory canal
tympanic membrane (ear drum)
ossicles
auditory nerve
pinnae
semi-circular canals

Outer Ear
Middle Ear
Inner Ear

Sort the following theories into the appropriate categories:

place theory
opponent process theory
trichromatic theory
Volley theory
frequency theory

Vision Theory
Hearing Theory

Place the following steps of hearing into the correct order.

impulses end up in the auditory cortext of the temporal lobe
hair cells (auditory receptor cells) are stimulated
ossicles (stapes) press against the cochlea
vibrations cause the ossicles to vibrate
sound waves travel down the auditory canal
the pinnae collects sound waves
sound waves vibrate the ear drum
vibrations are passed through the fluid in the cochlea
hair cells transmit neural impulses to auditory nerve

Sort the concepts below into the correct categories.

retinal disparity
texture gradient
relative height
clarity
relative size
convergence

monocular clues
binocular clues

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

when a stimulus intensity is high, the JND will be high

when a stimulus is low, the JND will be high

when a stimulus intensity is high, the Just-Noticeable Distance (JND) will be low

when the JND is high, the stimulus intensity will be low

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?

just noticeable difference 

sensory adaptation

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

Phi Phenomenon

Stroboscopic motion

Law of Continuity 

Perceptual constancy (of shape)
