What is perception?
The process of interpreting sensory information
The process of receiving sensory information
The process of organizing sensory information
The process of creating sensory information
What is the absolute threshold?
The smallest level of stimulus that can be detected at least half the time
The maximum level of stimulus that can be detected at least half the time
The average level of stimulus that can be detected at least half the time
The level of stimulus that can be detected only by a few individuals
What is subliminal messaging?
Signals or messages that are below the threshold of conscious awareness
Signals or messages that are above the threshold of conscious awareness
Signals or messages that are consciously perceived
Signals or messages that are intentionally ignored
What is the difference threshold?
The minimum detectable stimulation difference for a person

The average detectable stimulation difference for a person
The detectable stimulation difference for a specific sense
What is bottom-up processing?
Data-driven processing that starts with stimuli
Concept-driven processing that starts with expectations
Processing that combines stimuli and expectations
Processing that ignores stimuli and expectations
What is top-down processing?
Concept-driven processing that starts with expectations
Data-driven processing that starts with stimuli

What is sensory adaptation?
The process by which our nerve cells become less sensitive to constant stimuli over time
The process by which our nerve cells become more sensitive to constant stimuli over time
The process by which our nerve cells become sensitive to new stimuli over time
The process by which our nerve cells become insensitive to new stimuli over time
What is attentional capture?
The process where a salient stimulus stands out and demands our attention
The process where a subtle stimulus stands out and demands our attention
The process where a salient stimulus blends in and doesn't demand our attention
The process where a subtle stimulus blends in and doesn't demand our attention
What is inattentional blindness?
When a person misses an unexpected object due to their attention being focused on something else
When a person notices an unexpected object due to their attention being focused on something else
When a person misses an expected object due to their attention being focused on something else
When a person notices an expected object due to their attention being focused on something else
What is signal detection theory?
Explains how we make decisions about ambiguous stimuli based on sensory experiences and decision-making strategies
Explains how we make decisions about clear stimuli based on sensory experiences and decision-making strategies
Explains how we make decisions about ambiguous stimuli based on sensory experiences only
