Chapter 4 Sensation and Perception

The process of receiving from the outside world, translating it and transmitting it to the brain is called

• Sensation

• Perception

• Consciousness

• transduction

• sensory adaptation

The translation of one form of energy to another is known as

• Perception

• Sensation

• Transduction

• Transmitting

• Sensory adaptation

When we jump into a swimming pool, the water may at first seem quite cold, but then we get used to the temperature of the water due to

• Sensation

• Sensory Adaptation

• Perception

• Transduction

• Stimulus

Perception is the process of

• interpreting sensory information

• collecting sensory information

• transmitting sensory information

• transducing information

• perceiving information

• Visual illusions

• Optical illusions

Two visual cues that require both eyes to allow us to perceive depth

• Monocular cues

• Visual Illusions

• Optical Illusions

• Binocular

• Perceptual constancy

The smallest magnitude of a stimulus that can be detected (half the time)

• difference threshold

• absolute threshold

• sensory adaptation

• psychophysics

• perception
