Module 5 Lesson 1 Review

The process by which the sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energy from the environment.

• Priming

• Sensory Adaptation

• Top-down processing

• Sensation

Jake has trouble perceiving certain colors because he is color-blind. Which of the following represents the colors that he is unable to distinguish:

• red and green

• green and yellow

• blue and red

• blue and green

The process that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information. 

• priming.

• sensory adaptation.

• bottoms-up processing

• top-down processing.

This is the distance from one peak of one light wave to the peak of the next.

• Hue

• Wavelength

• Intensity

• Receptor Range

Under certain conditions, people are affected by stimuli so weak that they fail to consciously notice them. This is best illustrated by experiments involving

• sensory adaptation.

• subliminal priming.

• perceptual set.

• prosopagnosia.

These are the retinal receptors responsible for your daylight vision. 

• Rods

• Cones

• Optic Nerve

• Cornea

Sensory adaptation refers to

• the process by which stimulus energies are changed into neural impulses.

• when the body's sensory receptors are exposed to a particular stimulus for a long period of time, that one does not notice it anymore.

• the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.

• he effect of our expectations on perception.

What is the order of visual information processing? 

• Feature Detection, Parallel Processing, Recognition, Retinal Processing

• Recognition,Retinal Processing, Feature Detection, Parallel Processing

• Retinal Processing, Feature Detection, Recognition,Parallel Processing

• Retinal Processing, Feature Detection, Parallel Processing, Recognition

Form of perception where the visual field is organized into objects that stand out from their surroundings.

• Grouping

• Schema

• Gestalt

• Figure-Ground

The pupil is the

• adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters.

• transparent structure that focuses light rays in a process called accommodation.

• light-sensitive inner surface of the eye, containing both rods and cones.

• central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster.
