Review for Sensation and Perception Test on Thursday 10/27

Minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus is

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal detection theory

• Sensory Adaptation

Minimum difference between two stimuli that a subject can detect is

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal detection theory

• Sensory Adaptation

Diminished sensitivity with constant stimulation is

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal Detection theory

• Sensory Adaptation

This predicts how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise).

• Difference threshold

• Absolute threshold

• Signal Detection Theory

• Sensory Adaptation

The psychological process through which we interpret sensory stimulation

• visual acuity

• perception

• conductive

• sensation

• sensorineural

The stimulation of sensory receptors and the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system

• visual acuity

• perception

• conductive

• sensation

• sensorineural

The tendency to perceive a complete or whole figure

• blind spot

• closure

• conductive

• sensation

• sensorineural

The type of deafness in which sounds of certain frequencies are not heard

• blind spot

• closure

• conductive

• sensation

• sensorineural

Distinguishing between two shades of red is an example of

• absolute threshold

• difference threshold

• sensory adaptation

• afterimage

Stroboscopic Movement is...

• The illusion of a sound from one ear to the other

• the illusion of movement produced by a rapid progression of images

• The movement of information from the thalamus to the frontal lobe of the brain

• The creation of electromagnetic sound through the cochlear inplant of a deaf person's ear
