The capability to see the world in three dimensions is called depth perception.

What sensory receptors are triggered by chemical substances?

The smallest bone in your body is the

the tendency to perceive things that look similar as being part of the same group.

Weber's law tells us that whatever the "just noticeable difference" between two stimuli may be, it is always a constant. 

A person with CIPA may die from an internal injury because they do not feel the pain.

When you close your eyes and raise your hand above your head, you know where your hand is because of the

Gate control theory explains how pinching your arm may help relieve the pain in your toe.

works well in low levels of light, allow the eyes to adapt to dim light

responsible for focusing light

located at the back of the eye, contains photoreceptor cells

occurs as the eye recovers its ability to see when going from a brightly lit state to a dark state.

the moon on the horizon appears to be much larger than the moon in the sky

nearsightedness

black hole in the center of the eye controlled by a muscle

the most common type of hearing loss; aging and/or exposure to loud noises lead to loss of hair cells in the cochlea

the sense of taste is also known as gustation

Some people are picky eaters and dislike bitter foods, such as broccoli. According to the video we watched, this might be contributed to

The trichromatic theory of color perception assumes: 

Receptors in the eyes are stimulated by

receptors in the ears are stimulated by

People tend to perceive things a certain way because of their previous experiences or expectations. This is called: 

the ability to see the relation of objects in space and in three dimensions.

A chemical found in broccoli and other vegetables that makes them bitter.

smells goes directly to the _________ in the brain. 

Decibels are a measurement of

farsightedness

In opponent-process theory, there are four primary colors:

hearing impairment is hearing loss due to problems with the outer or middle ear that interfere with the transmission of sound waves to the cochlea.

This is the effect created when we see a small, stationary light in a dark room (or a dark sky). 

In the figure-ground relationship, one has a tendency to perceive objects:

the smallest difference between two stimuli that is detectable 50 percent of the time

Sensory adaptation is another process by which constant, unchanging information from the sensory receptors is effectively ignored.

not feeling your clothes, nose blindness, and adapting to a cold pool are all examples of.....

occurs when special neuron receptor sites in the sense organs are activated. 

wavelength found at the red end of the visible spectrum

organ involved with the vestibular sense

shorter wavelengths are found at the blue end of the visible spectrum

determined by the amplitude of the wave

the number of complete waves per unit

wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave

Waves with the longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies.

Wavelengths with higher frequencies have greater energy than wavelengths of lower frequencies.

In the trichromatic theory, if the red and green cones are firing in response to a stimulus at fast enough rates, the color the person sees is...

In the trichromatic theory, If the red and blue cones are firing fast enough, the result is

tendency to interpret an object as always being the same size, regardless of its distance

Olfaction is aka...

seen in motion pictures, in which a rapid series of still pictures will seem to be in motion.

is the effect created when we see a small, stationary light in a dark room (or a dark sky).

refers to the rotation of the two eyes in their sockets to focus on a single object. If the object is close, the convergence is pretty great (almost as great as crossing the eyes).

the sense of balance.

The next time you’re in a car, notice how the objects outside the car window seem to zip by very fast when they are close to the car, and objects in the distance, such as mountains, seem to move more slowly. This discrepancy in motion of near and far objects is called

tendency for lines that are actually parallel to seem to converge on each other is called

If there are any large expanses of pebbles, rocks, or patterned roads (such as a cobblestone street) nearby, go take a look at them one day. The pebbles or bricks that are close to you are very distinctly textured, but as you look farther off into the distance, their texture becomes smaller and finer

is why a person still perceives a coin as a circle even if it is held at an angle that makes it appear to be an oval on the retina

The distortion happens when the viewer tries to determine if the two lines are exactly the same length

the tendency to perceive an object as being equally bright even when the intensity of the light around it changes.

the tendency to perceive a complete or whole figure even when there are gaps in what your senses tell you

tendency to perceive objects or figures as existing on a background

tendency to believe that the doll is doing the talking is due largely to....

tendency to perceive objects that are close to one another as part of the same grouping

the tendency to perceive things as simply as possible with a continuous pattern

the bumps on the tongue

tendency to perceive objects that are in a common area or region as being in a group.

occurs when an individual fails to perceive an unexpected stimulus in plain sight, purely as a result of a lack of attention rather than any vision defects or deficits
