◉two processes in reading. Answer: 1. whole word reading -deficit:
surface dyslexia (can read phonetically)
2. phonetic reading-letter recognition -> phonetic coding -> phonetic
reading -deficit: phonological dyslexia
◉phonological dyslexia. Answer: -can read whole words, loss of
phonetic reading
◉developmental dyslexia. Answer: -impairment in reading, often
transpose letters and characteristics -often poor handwriting,
difficulty in using/telling 'right' and 'left', perception of moving
objects
◉physical properties of light. Answer: -light acts like a wave -
wavelength, amplitude, purity
◉wavelength. Answer: -hue (color)
, ◉amplitude. Answer: -brightness
◉purity. Answer: -saturation
◉perceptions. Answer: -hue, brightness and saturation
◉structure of the eye. Answer: -cornea, iris, pupil, lens, retina, rods,
cones, fovea, optic disk, optic nerve
◉cornea. Answer: -clear outside covering
◉iris. Answer: -colored part, muscle that opens and closes the pupil
◉pupil. Answer: -the hole that allows light to enter the eye
◉lens. Answer: -focuses light, image is inverted (upside down) and
reversed (mirror image)
◉retina. Answer: -sensory cells that transduce light into nervous
system activities and other nerve cells
◉photoreceptors. Answer: -rods and cones -contains rhodopsin
