Step 1 of 1
Question 1 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
A researcher conducts studies to try to determine the absolute threshold of a given sensory modality. The branch of
psychology that would be most relevant to this research would be psychophysics .
Correct. Psychophysics refers to the branch of psychology that studies the effects of physical stimuli on
sensory perception and mental states.
Question 2 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
Sensation occurs when molecules in the air interact with olfactory receptors causing them to send action potentials to
the part of the brain that processes olfactory information.
Correct. Sensation involves converting sensory stimuli into neural impulses that are transmitted to the brain.
Question 3 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
Understanding that the high pitch noise that you hear is your kitchen timer alerting you to the fact that your dinner
is done is an example of perception .
Correct. Perception involves organizing and interpreting incoming sensory information. Recognizing that a
high pitched noise is your kitchen timer is an example of perception.

Question 4 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
Placing a salty solution on the surface of the tongue would cause taste buds to begin to produce neural impulses.
This process is referred to as transduction .
Correct. Transduction refers to the process of converting sensory stimulus energy into neural impulses.
Question 5 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
When transduction occurs, mechanoreceptors of the skin convert physical pressure into
action potentials .
Correct. Transduction involves converting sensory stimulus energy into action potentials.
Question 6 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
When hair cells are brushed by the gelatinous mass in the semicircular canals of the inner ear, transduction
occurs.
Correct. Hair cells located in the semicircular canals of the inner ear are the sensory receptors for our
sense of balance.
Question 7 of 38 Points: 10 out of 10
Exposing photoreceptors to light results in neural impulses being sent to the parts of the brain that process visual
information. This is known as transduction .
Correct. Transduction refers to the process of converting sensory stimulus energy into neural impulses.
When light strikes light sensitive chemicals in the photoreceptors, the photoreceptors send neural impulses
on to the parts of the brain that process visual information.
