AP Psych Unit 3 ReTake: Sensation & Perception

Ajah heard a very annoying beeping sound in the beginning of class but after awhile it became unnoticeable. This demonstrates: 

• sensory adaptation 
• difference threshold 
• response bias 
• absolute threshold

 In sensation, what is the transforming of stimulus energies, such as touch and smells, into neural impulses our brain can interpret?

• Priming
• Sensory Adaption 
• Sensation
• Transduction

If i am testing your sound absolute threshold what percentage of the time must you hear the minimum stimulus in order for the absolute threshold to have been found?

• 20%
• 35%
• 50%
• 60%

 Area in the ear that sound waves/Vibrations get transferred into neuronal impulses-

• ear drum 
• ear canals 
• cochlea
• auditory nerve 

The size of the pupil is controlled by the:

• Lens
• Retina
• Cornea
• Iris

Most color-deficient people will probably:

• Lack functioning red-or-green-sensitive cones
• See the world in only black and white
• Also suffer from poor vision
• Have above-average vision to compensate for the deficit

Figures tend to be perceived as whole, complete objects, even if spaces or gaps exist in the representation, thus demonstrating the principle of:

• Closure
• Proximity
• Continuity
• Similarity

the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.

• perception
• sensation
• bottom-up processing
• sensory adaptation

Which of the following statements is consistent with the Gestalt theory of perception?

• Perception develops largely through learning
• Perception is the product of heredity
• The mind organizes sensations into meaningful perceptions
• Perception results directly from sensation

Depth cues that only require one require one eye,

• Binocular Cue
• Trichronocular Cue
• Monocular Cue
• Single Vision Transparency
