Managing Risk Vision and Perception

What is the primary function of the human eye in risk perception?

• To detect light and convert it into neural signals

• To interpret sound waves

• To regulate body temperature

• To process taste and smell

Which part of the brain is most involved in processing visual information related to risk?

• Cerebellum

• Occipital lobe

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

How does the lens of the eye adjust to focus on objects at different distances?

• By changing its shape

• By moving closer to the retina

• By altering its color

• By increasing its size

What is the role of rods in the retina?

• Detecting color

• Detecting light intensity

• Focusing images

• Producing tears
