Sensation

When information is converted to neural messages they are called:

• Transduction

• Transportation

• Translucent

Absolute threshold refers to

• The maximum stimulation required to say anything

• minimum usage of sense organs

• The minimum stimulation necessary to detect a particular stimulus

Being able to see a candle flame 30 miles away on a clear night is the

• absolute threshold for human vision

• difference threshold for human vision

• ratio threshold for human vision

• bionic threshold for human vision

A woman without sensory adaptation would

• not see different colors

• be continuously bothered by street noises outside her house

• find it impossible to distinguish light and sound waves

• not be able to distinguish between hot and cold sensations

Juan's bag of marbles is twice as heavy as Beth's. If it takes 5 extra marbles to make Beth's bag feel heavier, it will take 10 extra marbles to make Juan's bag feel heavier. This best illustrates

Why is sensory processing important?

• Helps the hand feel pressure and temperature
• Helps the nose sense smells
• Helps the ability to detect sound or vibrations
• Helps us better interact with the environment

What is sensory processing?

• Combining information from senses to respond to change in the environment
• Ability to taste a substance
• Combining viual and auditory information
• Light reflecting off an object

A principle that states, for any change in a stimulus to be detected, a constant proportion of that stimulus must be added or subtracted.  

• Gate-Control Theory
• Weber's Law
• Difference Threshold
• Multiple constant
