This is the process of detecting

physical energy and converting it into

neural signals.


What is

Sensation?


This is the selection, organization, and

interpretation of sensation into meaning.


What is perception?


This is the diminished sensitivity as a

consequence of constant stimulation.


What is Sensory Adaptation?


Our epxeirnece and exptceatoins eanlbe us

to imemdaitley precieve the scarmlebd lteetrs as maennifugl wrods and snetneecs.


What is top-down processing?


This is the minimum stimulation needed to

detect a particular stimulus 50% of the

time.


What is an Absolute Threshold?


This is the conversion of light energy into

neural impulses that the brain can understand.


What is

Phototransduction?


This is the point where the optic nerve leaves the eye; there are no receptors located in this section.


What is your blind spot?


These are the light sensitive receptors on

the inner surface of the eye that process visual

information.


What are rods & cones?


This is the genetic disorder in which people cannot see colors like red and green.

Extra point for the team that can give me the fancy term

for this.


What is color blindness?

(E.C. Trichromatic theory)


This is the perception of color, as color, even when lighting and

wavelengths change.


What is

color constancy?


This is the theory that one sense act together with other senses to

perceive flavor or smell.


What is sensory interaction?


This is the process by which we transfer odor from the mouth to back

of the nose.


What is chewing?


Name the 5 taste stimuli that the receptors on our tongues

respond to.


What are:Sweet

Salty

Bitter

Sour

Umami


These are the 2 variables that effect our ability to smell.


What is age & gender?


This is the region in the brain that allows smells

to be linked with a person’s experiences

and memories.


What is the limbic system?


This is the conversion of sound waves into

neural impulses using the hair cells of the

inner ear.


What is acoustic transduction?


This is the ability to This is the ability to pinpoint a sound pinpoint a sound

happening around you happening around you using both of your ears. using both of your ears.


What is What is localization of localization of

sound?sound?


This theory states that This theory states that the rate of impulses the rate of impulses

traveling up the traveling up the auditory nerve enables auditory nerve enables

us to sense its pitch.us to sense its pitch.


What is frequency theory?


Name the 3 sound characteristics that allow

our ears to hear pitch, loudness and timbre.


What is frequency, intensity & quality?


Name and describe the 2 types of hearing loss.


Conduction Hearing loss: caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea’s receptor cells or to the auditory nerve, also called nerve deafness.


These are the 4 sensation that our

receptors for touch allow us to feel.


What are pain, pressure, hot &

cold?


This is the only identifiable skin

receptor. All other are a variation of

these.


What is pressure?


These are 2 ways in which an individual can control

pain.


What are: drugs, hypnosis, meditation,

acupuncture, surgery & exercise?


This is our body’s alert mechanism that tells us

something has gone wrong.


What is pain?


This theory states that “gates” in our spinal cord open and close in response

to pain as a way to prioritize pain..


What is What is the Gate-Control Theory??

Our perception needs to Our perception needs to organize figures from the organize figures from the

world around us into a world around us into a meaningful forms. Which meaningful forms. Which

we utilize these 4 grouping we utilize these 4 grouping rules to achieve.rules to achieve.
