Perception and Senses Lecture

Multiple Choice

What does the term "absolute threshold" refer to?

• The minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus

• The maximum stimulation that can be detected

• The average level of stimulation required for conscious awareness

• • The threshold for unconscious perception

Multiple Choice

What are messages that are presented below the threshold for conscious awareness called?

• Subconscious signals

• Supraliminal messages

• Supersonic messages

• Subliminal messages

​The process by which our brain cells become less sensitive to constant stimuli that are picked up by our senses.

Multiple Choice

What factors influence whether sensory information is sensed or perceived?

• Learned behavior and motivation

• Attention and Motivation

• Stimuli and unconscious processing

• Motivation and unconscious processing

Multiple Choice

What Lobe of the Brain has vision?

• Occipital

• Frontal

• Lateral

• Corpus Callosum

Multiple Choice

What are the two pathways associated with vision?

• What and Where/How Pathway

• Normal and Irregular Pathway

• Left and Right Pathway

• Distance and Location Pathway

Multiple Choice

Light enters into the eye as a

• Wave

• Image

• Reflection

• Sensation

Open Ended

Compare and contrast the Trichromatic and Opponent Process.

​binocular depth cues involve using both eyes, whereas monocular depth cues rely on one eye to process distance and depth perception. Monocular depth cues allow us to see objects two-dimensionally, and binocular cues allow us to see objects in 3D.

Multiple Choice

Which of these is not a cue for monocular vision

• Occlusion

• Double Refraction

• Shading

• Distance to horizon

• Shadows

Multiple Choice

While attending a concert, you notice that the music suddenly becomes much louder. Which of the following best explains why the sound seems louder?

• The sound waves are traveling into your ears at a slower speed

• The sound waves have higher amplitudes

• The sound waves have lower frequencies

• Because of the slower velocity

Open Ended

Based on the image and how you perceive sound what do you think that the definition of interaural level difference means and interaural time difference means?

Multiple Choice

How do we taste?

• Food molecules dissolve on taste receptors on our tongue

• Food sticks to the outside sides of our mouth and causes a perception change on the tongue

• The food molecules dissolve and are read by the tympanic membrane

• The nasal receptors and tongue receptors dissolve food

Multiple Choice

What are the receptors that identify smell?

• Olfactory

• Gustatory

• Auditory

• Somatictory
