What sensory system is responsible for processing visual information?

• Auditory system

• Somatosensory system

• Visual system

• Vestibular system

Which light receptors are responsible for color vision?

• Rods

• Fovea

• Cones

• Optic nerves

Why do rods not contribute to color perception?

• They are only active during the day

• They do not transmit neural signals

• There is only one type of rod, so they can’t distinguish color

• They are inactive in low light

What part of the eye contains tightly packed cones and is responsible for sharp central vision?

• Retina

• Iris

• Fovea

• Optic nerve

Which of the following is true about hearing?

• It can be turned off like vision by closing eyelids

• It has the slowest processing time

• It processes sound through gustatory receptors

• It is very fast and detects sound direction with millisecond differences

Why can loud environments negatively impact work performance?

• They increase attention span

• They reduce sensory transduction

• They interfere with task execution

• They improve working memory

Which sensory system is activated by chemical compounds in the air?

• Auditory

• Gustatory

• Somatosensory

• Olfactory

Which sense is processed by the gustatory system?

• Smell

• Balance

• Taste

• Vision

What distinguishes touch as a sensory system?

• It is the fastest sensory system

• It processes auditory input

• It operates through the skin, the largest sensory organ

• It is not connected to the brain’s cortex

Why do two people perceive the same sensory input differently?

• The physical environment changes constantly

• Perception is designed to reconstruct the environment accurately

• Perception depends on the person's needs and situation

• One person’s brain usually blocks sensory signals
