AP Psych Eyeballs n Stuff

weber's and fechner's psychological laws concern the relationship between which of the following

the intensity of a stimulus and its corresponding psychological sensation

which molecular depth is demonstrated in figure above

linear perspective

in the dark, an object is more clearly seen with perph. view bc the rods in the retina are

more sensitive in the dark than cones and are not found in the fovea

when viewed from a window of a moving train, nearby objects seem to pass by more quickly than distant objects. this cue for depth perception is called

motion parallax

Pinna

The part we see, collects the sound

an individuals ability to focus on a particular conversation in a noisy crowded room is called

auditory localization

photoreceptors relay visual info to the brain through witch of the following cells

bipolar and ganglion

the gestalt principle that refers to an individuals tendency to perceive an incomplete figures whole is called

closure

ppl that are color blind most likely have deficiencies in their

cones

in figure above which corresponds to light sensitive surface of the eyes that contains photo receptors

d circle

which of the following refers to the just noticeable diff. btw two stimulus

difference threshold

in the figureabove what letter corresponds with nerve that carries neural impulses from eye to brain

e stick to Brain

a subliminal stimulus is a stimulus that

falls below the threshold for conscious detection

carmelita red spot then shifts gaze, afterimage will be

green

Latisha noticed that in her early evening she begins to have difficulty seeing the vibrant colors in art work. why?

her cones cannot easily detect color in dim light

feature detectors are neurons that are turned on and off by specific features of visual stimuli like edgesand movement. where in the visual system are these figures located

occipital cortex

which refers to the transformation of stimulus energy into neural impulses

perception

in visual perception size consistency occurs asan object comes closer to the viewer bc

percieved distance of the object becomes smaller

in vision, transduction occurs within the

retina

which is a binocular cue for depth perception

retinal disparity

which of the following is the correct path a neural impulse will follow rhrough diff laters in retina

rods and cones, bipolar cells, ganglion cells, optic nerve

using phones whilew driving increases crashes bc the phones require

selective attention

the thalamus processes info for all of the following except

smell

research has shown that a major reason for poor performancewhile multi tasking is bc ppl

switch their attention rapidly and miss critical info

a reason that one typically doesnt notice a blind spot is that

the brain fills in missing info so theres no awareness that the visual field is incomplete

tina is reading an important letter when she accidentally splashes water on the paper. this water smudged a few words but she can still understand

top-down processing
