Visual and Taste Perception

Receptors that are responsible for transferring light into neural impulses.  

• Rods & Cones of Retina
• Optic Stem
• Cornea
• Iris

Which of the following is NOT one of the four primary sensory experiences that make up taste?

• Sweet

• Umami

• Bitter

• Spicy

• Sour

The organization of sensory information into meaningful experiences.  

• Senstation
• Perception
• Gestalt Awareness
• Sensory organization

When the raw sensory stimulus activates a sensory receptor, we call this process:

• Senstaion

• Perception

• Recognition

• Response system

Being able to see a candle flame 30 miles away on a clear night is an example of

• absolute threshold for human vision

• difference threshold for human vision.

• inattentional blindness

• Weber's Law

What is the first part of the eye that light hits?

• lens

• cornea

• pupil

• retina

• iris

Visual stimuli collected by the rods and cones in our retina are largely interpreted by the visual cortex in our brain. Where is the visual cortex located?

• Temporal Lobe

• Somatosensory Cortex

• Olfactory Bulb

• Occipital Lobe

Which of the following is the correct order of the structures through which light passes after entering the eye?

• Lens, pupil, cornea, retina
• Pupil, cornea, lens, retina
• Cornea, retina, pupil, lens
• Cornea, pupil, lens, retina

The process where stimuli is converted into a neural signal, then send to the brain:

• perception
• sensation
• conduction
• transduction

What is the 'optic chasm'?

• The space in the field of vision that connects left and right.

• The crossover point of the information from the left and right eyes.

• The 'blind spot' that we cannot see.

• The layout of the neural pathway.
