Sensation and perception

Pupil diameter is affected by all of the following EXCEPT:

diet

Mechanoreceptors are a type of receptor that responds to painful stimuli or stimuli that are capable of causing tissue damage.

False

The amplitude of a light wave -the vertical distance from peak to trough--is the physical property of the light wave stimulus that we would perceive as color.

False

Top-down processing is an information-gathering process starting from each individual stimulus.

False

Olfactory receptor cells are what type of cells?

NOT Endothelial

Umami, the most recently discovered type of taste bud, can be detect the taste of foods that are:

NOT Low in protein

The two brain areas responsible for speech language production and comprehension were named after which surgeons who discovered them?

NOT b and f

Lines measuring the function of loudness and frequencies of sound waves are called:

NOT binaural cues

is a quantifiable pattern of physical energy, which is able to interact with an organism and produce a change in the condition of the organism.

NOT environment

Which of the following is NOT a type of sensory receptor?

NOT exteroreceptiors

Sensory receptors for g are known as

NOT glustatioj

These sensory receptors are activated by muscular movement or passive displacement of body parts

NOT interno

These receptors are activated by vibrations and are rapidly adapting. They are located in the dermis and have large receptive fields

NOT meissners

Which system has one feature setting it apart from any other system

NOT none

What is the difference between rods and cones?

NOT rods process

The two types of sensory experiences that make up somesthesis are sensitivity and

NOT tactile and cut

A person's threshold is measured by taking the smallest amount of a stimulus and gradually increasing its strength until a person correctly guesses the stimulus's presence 50% of the time.

NOT tolerance

Sensory occurs when the sensory receptors become less sensitive when exposed to a constant stimulus for a certain amount of time.

NOT transduction

blindness is a phenomenon caused by diverted attention resulting in failure of accurate scene detection as if we are blind to that event.

NOT unattentional

The scientific measurement used to describe the loudness of a particular sound is called the

NOT volume

Wavelength in sound waves corresponds to

NOT volume

Perception is

NOT. The long one

Which of the following can help protect you from computer vision syndrome?

All

Which of the following are considered sensory receptors?

All of the above

All of the following are true about sound EXCEPT:

Amplitude in sound waves corresponds to pitch, the relative highness or lowness of a sound

Place the steps of the process from stimulation to perception in the correct order:

Stimulation, reception, transduction, transmission, perception

The duration of a sensation is defined by the relationship between the intensity and the intensity.

Stimulus, perceived

Kinesthetic sensitivity is

NOT touch pressure

The visual pathway for central vision and high spatial resolution images is called;

NOT magno

Which of the following conditions respond to light therapy?

All

This nociceptor is activated by a variety of high-intensity mechanical, chemical, and very hot or very cold stimuli

Polymodal

A higher frequency means more pressure changes occur in a given second and occur closer to each other in space thus producing a _wavelength.

Shorter

Inappropriate computer monitor distance and angle can be causes of eye strain and Computer Vision Syndrome.

True

Transduction is the process of converting a physical stimulus into a meaningful and useful neural signal capable of being interpreted by the brain.

True
