AP Psych Unit 4: Sensory and Perception

Giulio's bag of marbles is twice as heavy as Jim's. If it takes 5 extra marbles to make Jim's bag

feel heavier, it will take 10 extra marbles to make Giulio's bag feel heavier. This best illustrates:

• sensory adaption

• Weber's Law

• the McGurk effect

• the opponent-process theory

Evidence that some cones are sensitive to red light, others to green light, and still other to blue light is most directly supportive of the ____

• phi phenomenon

• Young-Helmholtz

• signal detection

• frequency

Because the two teams wore different-colored uniforms, Cheri perceived the ten basketball

players as two distinct groups. This best illustrates the principle of:

• similarity

• proximity

• color constancy

• convergence

Almost half the birds in the yard were brown cardinals and the rest were bright red cardinals, so

Jimmy perceived them as two distinct groups of birds. This best illustrates the principle of:

• relative clarity

• proximity

• similarity

• connectedness

Soothing musical audiotapes accompanied by faint and imperceptible (on a conscious level)

verbal messages designed to increase a desire to lose weight best illustrate:

• synaesthesia

• difference thresholds

• parallel processing

• subliminal stimulation

Jody's horse is black whether it’s in the brilliant sunlight or in the dim light of the stable. This

illustrates what is known as:

• sensory interaction

• perceptual adaption

• the phi phenomenon

• brightness constancy

The adjustable opening in the center of the eye is the:

• iris

• fovea

• pupil

• cornea

Sound wave vibrations are transmitted by three tiny bones located in the:

• vestibular sacs

• pinna

• cochlea

• middle ear

The process by which our sensory systems convert stimulus energies into neural messages is

called:

• sensory adaption

• priming

• transduction

• sensory interaction

Although a few keys on the piano were broken, Shana couldn't prevent herself from mentally

filling in the missing notes of the familiar melodies. This best illustrates the principle of:

• convergence

• continuity

• proximity

• closure
