BP 6.2

Which part of the eye contains cones and is responsible for sharp vision?

• Retina

• Iris

• Fovea

• Cornea

Why can't we read clearly when looking out of the corner of our eye?

• Rods in the periphery don't support high detail

• Cones are too sensitive to light

• The retina turns off in low light

• The iris blocks peripheral vision

What is a key difference between rods and cones?

• Cones detect motion, rods detect shape

• Rods detect color, cones detect black and white

• Cones require more light and detect color, rods are sensitive in low light

• Rods are found in the fovea, cones in the periphery

Which sense system is primarily involved in processing sound?

• Somatosensory

• Gustatory

• Olfactory

• Auditory

What is a possible consequence of long-term exposure to noise over 120 dB?

• Improved auditory accuracy

• Temporary muscle relaxation

• Immediate and permanent hearing damage

• Increased sense of smell

What does the 'Mozart Effect' claim?

• Loud music reduces stress

• Classical music improves physical endurance

• Listening to Mozart improves cognitive performance

• Music eliminates perceptual competition

What are the five basic tastes?

• Salty, sweet, spicy, smoky, sour

• Sweetness, sourness, bitterness, saltiness, umami

• Crunchy, chewy, bitter, salty, spicy

• Fruity, floral, earthy, nutty, bitter

What is the function of the vestibular system?

• To process smell

• To detect sweetness

• To regulate emotions

• To monitor body balance and movement

In perception, what is a receptive field?

• The amount of memory dedicated to each sense

• The brain region that stores previous sensory input

• The area of the physical world a neuron responds to

• The conscious awareness of emotions

What does the Gestalt principle explain?

• How auditory memory functions

• Why we perceive things as groups or forms

• The process of top-down inhibition

• How stress influences sensory transduction
