The electromagnetic spectrum describes all of the kinds of light, including those the human eye cannot see. What is the visible spectrum for humans?

• 350-800nm

• 400-700nm

• 400-750nm

• 410-700nm

The eye consists of multiple components that have its own role in the process of sensation to perception. However, which part of the eye is important in the process of transduction?

• Cornea

• Pupil

• Retina

• Optic nerve

Most of the signals from the retina travel out of the eye in the optic nerve to the

• Lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)

• Striate cortex

• Primary visual receiving area

• Secondary visual receiving area

Ungerleider and Mishkin (1982) used a technique to determine the function of a particular area of the brain. What is this technique called?

• Brain imaging

• Subtraction

• Striped tube

• Ablation

For bottom-up processing, your brain is reliant on

• Sensory receptors to register info

• Cognitive processing at a higher level

• Cognitive processing of incoming data

• Sensory receptors to register previous information

Gestalt's Principles are often used when describing object perception. Which describes the principle of continuation?

• human nature to group like things together. In this principle, similar elements are visually grouped by colour, shape, or size.

• there is a tendency to group elements which do not actually touch each other in a composition

• our tendency to complete an incomplete shape in order to rationalize the whole.

• the human eye will follow the smoothest path when viewing lines, regardless of how the lines were actually drawn.

The Occipital Face Area (OFA) is a region of the human cerebral cortex which is specialised for face perception. What are the two (2) network of brain regions which support facial processing?

• Fusiform face area (FFA) and anterior superior temporal sulcus (STS)

• Fusiform face area (FFA) and posterior superior temporal sulcus (STS)

• Fusiform face area (FFA) and posterior superior occipital sulcus (SOS)

• Fusiform face area (FFA) and posterior superior temporal gyrus (STG)

●What we perceive as colour is dependent on the wavelengths reflected. For medium wavelengths, what is the perceived colour?

• Green

• Red

• Blue

• Yellow

The Trichromatic Theory of Colour suggests that there are three receptors in the retina that are responsible for the perception of colour. What are they?

• Short (red), medium (yellow), long (blue)

• Short (blue), medium (red), long (green)

• Short (green), medium (blue), long (yellow)

• Short (blue), medium (green), long (red)

The Opponent-Process Theory of Colour Vision posits that colour vision is caused by opposing responses generated by blue and yellow, and by green and red. What's the evidence for this theory?

• Afterimages

• Colour-matching experiments

• Colour deficiencies

• Striped tube experiments
