analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain’s integration of sensory information

failing to notice changes in the environment. Ex. The bearded man not noticing that the man giving directions was replaced by someone else after the board passed by.

• Color Blindness

• Inattentional Blindness

• Change Blindness

• Psychophysics

the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain.

• Rods

• Blind Spot

• Iris

• Optic Nerve

the wave’s height. It is measured from the peak of the wave to the trough of the wave. Amplitude measures the intensity of the wave. In light it determines the brightness of the color and in sound it determines the volume.

• Amplitude

• Wavelength

• Frequency

• Iris

retinal receptors that are concentrated near the center of the retina that detect colors and details and that function in the daylight or in well-lit conditions. The human eye has around 6 million cones.

• Retina

• Cones

• Blind Spot

• Pupil

a condition in which nearby objects are seen clearly but distant objects are blurred because light rays reflecting from them converge in front of the retina.

• Color Blindness

• Farsightedness

• Blindness

• Nearsightedness

hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system, such as the three bones, that conducts sound waves to the cochlea. A hearing aid may help amplify sounds for someone who has conduction hearing loss.

• Conduction Hearing Loss

• Sensorineural Hearing Loss

• Cochlear Implant

• Eardrum

a perceptual phenomenon which demonstrates an interaction between hearing and vision in speech perception. This effect may be experienced when a video of one phoneme's production is dubbed with a sound-recording of a different phoneme being spoken. Often, the perceived phoneme is a third, intermediate phoneme.

• Endorphins

• Papillae

• McGurk Effect

• Nociceptors

the sense of smell.

• Tinnitus

• Olfaction

• Hearing

• Papillae

structures on the tongue in which the taste buds are located.

• Gustation

• OMAMU

• Olfaction
