Our tendency to integrate pieces of info into meaningful wholes

The process of organizing and interpreting sensory information.

Theory that the retina contains three different color receptors – red, green and blue.

The minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50% of them time.

Principle that one sense may influence another.

Diminishing sensitivity to a constant, unchanging stimulus.

Perceiving objects as unchanging, even as illumination and retinal images change

 Focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus and blocking out all other stimuli.

Depth cues, such as convergence, that depend on the use of two eyes.

The dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light

The amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which influences what we perceive as brightness of loudness.

The point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye

Perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change

The theory that opposing retinal processes (red-green; blue-yellow; white-black) enable color vision. For Example some cells are stimulated by green and inhibited by red; others are stimulated by red and inhibited by green

The theory that the retina contains three different color receptors - one most sensitive to red, one to green, and one to blue - which when stimulated in combination can produce the perception of any color

The organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings.

An illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession

hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or the auditory nerves; the most common form of hearing loss.

The theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological gate that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.
