FOPAC EXAM 4 MODULES | 145 QUESTIONS | WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS!!
What is perception? - CORRECT ANSWER-Our awareness of our environment
and stimulus. And how we perceive them
What are sensations - CORRECT ANSWER-Unconscious experiences
generated by stimulation of a sense eg: camera flash in eye
Other things to know about sensations - CORRECT ANSWER-Sensation does
not equal perception!Sensory information is processed by our brains to
give us perception. It is the information sent to our Brain by our
senses
What is the order of processing - CORRECT ANSWER-Stimuli(vision) ->
operation of senses (recognising light through optic nerve)-> sensory
processing -> perception(becoming aware) -> organisms response
What is the relevance to psychology of perception ? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Perception is the foundation for everything else: memory , learning,
motor skills, emotion, motivation, social psychology and pathology
Why do we need perception? - CORRECT ANSWER-All living creatures require
the ability to sense various forms of energy in the environment.
Without such ability creatures cannot respond to significant objects
and events
,What are the types of senses? - CORRECT ANSWER-1. Vision
2. Auditory (hearing)
3. Olfactory ( smell)
4. Tactile (touch)
5. Gustatory (taste)
6. Balance
Visual memory diagram ? - CORRECT ANSWER-Stimuli -> vision -> (passive
attention. Moving eye to ball ) -> sensory memory (1-3 seconds. Having
flash in eye and it staying there) -> working memory (20-30 seconds.
Active attention) -> (encoding) -> long- term memory (1 second-
lifetime) -> retrieval
Two different worlds? And an example - CORRECT ANSWER-Physical world-
all stimuli exist. Sensory input. Smells, hearing voices ect.
Perceptual world- our brains interpretation of that input
Example- black/blue and gold/white dress meme
What is the classification of senses and the receptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Vision - Photoreceptors
Hearing - Mechanoreceptors
Touch - Mechanoreceptors + Thermoreceptors
,Taste/Smell - Chemoreceptors
Balance - Mechanoreceptors + vestibular organs
What are photoreceptors - CORRECT ANSWER-A specialised nerve cell that
produced electrical signal when struck by light
Where is our primary visual cortex ? - CORRECT ANSWER-In our occipital
lobe. Bottom
Marr's Model of vision - CORRECT ANSWER-Marr's ideas were the beginning
of computational neuroscience
Stages that visual processing passes through stages:
- Primal sketch
- 2.5D (2D with illusion of depth) sketch
- 3D sketch
Classification of hearing - CORRECT ANSWER-Hearing -> air pressure waves -
> mechanoreceptors -> ears -> auditory cortex
What are mechanoreceptors? - CORRECT ANSWER-A specialised nerve cell
that produced electrical signal when subjected to mechanical
deformation.
- Perceived through skin, muscle and vestibular organs stimulated
through tissues, distortion, gravity and acceleration
, What is touch blindness? - CORRECT ANSWER-- Inability to feel touch, can
sometimes inhibit pain feeling
- Touch and pain receptors reduce in accuracy as we age
Where is our auditory cortex? - CORRECT ANSWER-Temporal lobe. Middle
bottom
Classification of touch - CORRECT ANSWER-Touch -> tissue distortion ->
mechanoreceptors themoreceotors -> skin muscles -> somatosensory
cortex
Where is our somotosensory cortex ? - CORRECT ANSWER-Small part in the
middle
Classification of taste/ smell - CORRECT ANSWER-Taste/ smell -> chemical ->
chemoreceptors-> nose/ mouth -> taste and olfactory cortex
Where is our taste and olfactory cortex I'm the brain? - CORRECT ANSWER-All
over. Gustatory (taste) cortex, cerebral cortex, olfactory cortex
Classification of balance - CORRECT ANSWER-Balance -> . ->
mechanoreceptors -> vestibular organs -> temporal cortex
