MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time.
Amplitude
Binocular cues
Absolute threshold
Difference threshold (Just noticeable difference)

Texture gradient
conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies into neural impulses
Transduction
monocular cue for depth perception; a gradual change from course, distinct texture to fine, indistinct texture signals increasing distance
Subliminal sensation
when one sort of sensation (such as hearing a sound) produces another (such as seeing color)
Top-down processing
information processing guided by higher-level mental process, as when we construct perceptions drawing out our experience and expectation.
Synaesthesia
detection of stimuli below absolute threshold

MATCH QUESTION

Similarity
Gestalt grouping principle; we group similar figures together
Sensation
the process by which our receptors receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment.
Sensory adaptation
diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation.
Signal detection theory
Specialized structures that detect specific types of environmental stimuli and transduce them into neural signals
Sensory receptors
a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimuli ("signal") amid background stimulation ("noise").

Relative motion
monocular cue for depth perception; if we assume two objects are similar in size, most people perceive the one that casts the smaller retinal image to be farther away
Retinal disparity
monocular cue for depth perception; we perceive objects higher in our visual field to be farther away. Explanation for why the "bottom" of a figure-ground illusion usually is interpreted as the "figure"
Relative height
ability to attend to only a limited amount of sensory information at one time
Selective attention
a binocular cue for perceiving depth; by comparing the images of the retinas of the two eyes, the brain computes distance. The greater the disparity (difference) between the two images, the closer the object
Relative size
monocular cue for depth perception; as we move, stationary objects seem to "move" as well. Objects above a fixation point move "with" us, objects below the fixation point move "past" us.

MATCH QUESTION

Match the following
Psychophysics
the study of relationship between the physical characteristic of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.
Relative clarity
monocular cue for depth perception; objects that seem "fuzzier" or less clear are perceived to be farther away.
Priming
Gestalt grouping principle; we group nearby figures together
Proximity
Activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response
Prosopagnosia
inability to recognize or perceive faces

MATCH QUESTION

Phi phenomenon
the ability to adjust to an altered perceptual reality; in vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or inverted visual field (as when wearing visual displacement goggles).
Perceptual constancy
mental predisposition to perceive a specific stimulus as one thing and not another (for example, due to suggestion or expectations based on prior learning)
Perceptual adaptation
an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in rapid succession
Perceptual set
perceiving objects as unchanging (having consistent shapes, size, lightness, and color) even as illumination and retinal images change
7.
MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION
45 sec • 1 pt
the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information; enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events.
Perceptual set
Perceptual adaptation
Perceptual constancy
Perception
