Which of the following is NOT one of the four primary sensory experiences that make up taste?
Sweet
Umami
Bitter
Spicy
Sour
When the raw sensory stimulus activates a sensory receptor, we call this process:
Senstaion
Perception
Recognition
Response system
Being able to see a candle flame 30 miles away on a clear night is an example of
absolute threshold for human vision
difference threshold for human vision.
inattentional blindness
Weber's Law
What is the first part of the eye that light hits?
lens
cornea
pupil
retina
iris
Visual stimuli collected by the rods and cones in our retina are largely interpreted by the visual cortex in our brain. Where is the visual cortex located?
Temporal Lobe
Somatosensory Cortex
Olfactory Bulb
Occipital Lobe
What is the 'optic chasm'?
The space in the field of vision that connects left and right.
The crossover point of the information from the left and right eyes.
The 'blind spot' that we cannot see.
The layout of the neural pathway.
Which of the following is correct?
Each taste bud responds to all five primary tastes.
There are about 10 000 taste receptor cells on each taste bud.
Taste is a sensation that we need to learn.
Newborn babies cannot distinguish different tastes.
The papillae are:
The bumps on the tongue that contain the taste buds.
The taste buds.
Receptors which are found in the nose.
Receptors in the back of the eye which detect light.
What is absolute threshold?
minimum amount of stimulus needed for it to be detected
the idea that bigger stimuli require larger differences to be noticed
interpreting the world using previous experiences
the idea that we are exposed to mere stimuli all the time when we see ads on social media
Why do humans use the Gestalt Principles? (Two answers required)
Humans don't use the Gestalt Principles
In order to make order out of chaos
To make harmony or structure from seemingly disconnected pieces of visual information
In order to make chaos out of order
What is Closure?
Completing gaps within a figure in order to view the stimulus as a whole
Simplifying a scene into figures and backgrounds
The perception of objects based on similar features
The perception of objects that are physically close together as belonging in a group
The historical movement associated with the statement “the whole may exceed the sum of its parts” is:
Parapsychology
Depth cues
Functional psychology
Gestalt psychology
Which Gestalt Principle?
Figure Ground Perception
Closure
Similarity
Proximity
Which image pertains to similarity?
This is an example of what type of monocular depth cue?
Texture gradient
Linear perspective
interposition
motion parallax
When the brain detects that the tension in the eye muscles is changing as the eyes turn inwards
convergence
Monocular depth cue
accommodation
retinal disparity
Retinal disparity occurs because
the eyes converge on a particular object and thus they look disparate
the brain detects a change in the eye muscles
each retina receives a slightly different visual image due to their distance apart
we are all unique and different.
Which of the following is NOT a depth cue
Convergence
Retinal disparity
Height in the visual field
Figure-ground organisation
When the lens is automatically adjusted to look at objects far away or closer
convergence
pictorial cues
retinal disparity
accommodation
Perceptual set is...
seeing something in a different way
a predisposition to perceive something in accordance with our expectations
perceiving something in a way that is consistent with others
failing to perceive something
Often perceptual set assists visual perception it allows us to..
interpret information more quickly
interpret information more slowly
interpret information with more errors
interpret mispelt words
What factors may lead to someone forming a perceptual set or expectancy?
context, motivation, emotional state
internal factor like motivation and emotional state
situations, feelings, behaviours
context, motivation, emotional state, past experience, culture
Learning processes that form a perceptual set are an example of...
Context
Past Experience
Emotional State
Motivation
A study found that Malawi people could not recognise a dog in a photo. This study demonstrated how _____________________ affected perceptual set.
Context
Culture
Emotional State
Motivation
Context refers to the ________________________ in which visual information is interpreted.
possibilities
experience
setting
