Question 16
16.

Question 17
17.

Place the following steps to the vision process in order.

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

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

  • semi-circular canals
  • tympanic membrane (ear drum)
  • ossicles
Question 19
19.

Sort the following theories into the appropriate categories:

  • place theory
  • frequency theory
  • trichromatic theory
  • opponent process theory
  • Volley 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. sound waves vibrate the ear drum
  3. vibrations cause the ossicles to vibrate
  4. ossicles (stapes) press against the cochlea
Question 21
21.

Sort the concepts below into the correct categories.

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

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
law of continuity
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
auditory nerve
pinnae
cochlea
auditory canal
Outer Ear
Middle Ear
Inner Ear
Hearing Theory
impulses end up in the auditory cortext of the temporal lobe
hair cells (auditory receptor cells) are stimulated
vibrations are passed through the fluid in the cochlea
hair cells transmit neural impulses to auditory nerve
the pinnae collects sound waves
relative size
monocular clues
binocular clues
