MULTIPLE CHOICE
Amplitude
The height of a wave, determines a wave's intensity, influences brightness and loudness
Intensity
the amount of energy in a light or sound wave.
Pupil
The adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters.
Iris
A ring of muscle tissue that surrounds the pupil and determines its color. This controls the size of the pupil
opening
Lens
A transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina
Accommodation
When the lens changes shape to send the image to the correct part of the retina
Rods
Retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray, neccesary for peripheral and twilight vision
Cones
Retinal receptors that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or well
lit conditions. Detects fine detail and color
Optic Nerve
The nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Axons of ganglion cells twine together
like rope to form this.
Blind Spot
The point at which the optic nerves leaves the eye, creating a spot where no receptor cells are located.
Fovea
The central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster.
Feature Detectors
3
, Nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape or movement.
Located in the occipital lobe's visual cortex
Parallel Processing
The processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously; the brain's natural mode of information
processing for many functions, including vision. Brain divides a visual scene into subdimensions
Trichromatic Theory
The theory that the retina contains 3 different color receptors- one most sensitive to red, one to green,
and one to blue- which, when stimulated, can produce the perception of any color.
Opponent Process Theory
Sensation
The process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies
from our environment. Taking in information from your environment.
Perception
The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enables us to recognize meaningful
objects and events
Bottom-Up Processing
analysis that begins with the sensory receptors (details) and works up to the brain's integration of sensory
information (whole picture)
Top-Down Processing
Information processing guided by higher level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions
drawing on our experience and expectation. Looking at the big picture first and then the details.
Selective Attention
The focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus. Your awareness focuses on a small aspect
of all that you experience.
Cocktail Party Effect
your ability to attend to only one voice among many. You are also able to detect your name when spoken
Inattentional Blindness
Failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere.
Change Blindness
Failing to notice changes in the environment
Transduction
