Generally (with due respect to umami), the four basic tastes are:
Salty, sweet, sour, and bitter
If one is subjected to prolonged stimulation, eventually
Sensory adaptation will occur
The visual cortex is to the auditory cortex as the occipital lobe is to the:
temporal lobe
Interposition refers to:
A depth cue in which closer objects overlap objects farther away.
Feature analysis assumes that we progress from individual elements to the whole in the formation of our perceptions. This is a case of:
Bottom-up processing
The retina is to the eye as the:
Cochlea is to the ear
As the large butterfly flew toward Richard, he could tell it was getting closer because he could feel his eyes turning inward toward his nose as he watched it. In this instance, Richard was able to judge how far away the butterfly was using the depth cue of:
Convergence
Parallel processing in the visual pathways suggests that separate neural channels:
Extract different information from visual stimuli
Imagine that biologists have discovered an animal that has eyes very similar to human eyes, but that the only receptor cells in the retina are rods; there are no cones. Based on what is known about human vision you might expect the animal would:
Have no color vision
A police officer asked Stanley to close his eyes and touch the tip of his nose, using first his right index finger and then his left index finger. To complete the test of coordination, Stanley would need to rely on:
His vestibular sense
Hering's opponent-process theory suggests that receptors are linked antagonistically in pairs. His opposed pairs were:
Red-green; yellow-blue; black-white
Ron is making potato soup. His roommate tastes it and tells Ron it is great, but Ron thinks it needs more salt. He adds just a little salt, and thinks the soup now tastes perfect. However, his roommate tastes it again and tells Ron that the soup is ruined because it is too salty. Apparently, for the taste of salt:
Ron's roommate can detect a smaller just noticeable difference than Ron can.
Loreen has a bad case of vertigo. She feels like the room is spinning, and she has trouble keeping her balance. It is possible that this sense of disequilibrium is a result of excess activity in neurons in the:
Semicircular canals
Our perception of the brightness of a color is affected mainly by:
The amplitude of light waves.
Hue is to pitch as brightness is to:
loudness
The primary visual cortex is located in the:
occipital lobe
The visual cortex is located in the
occipital lobe
Images that occupy more space on your retina are seen as nearer relative to images that occupy less space. This is a cue to depth perception known as:
relative size
Blake was at a football game, and even though people wearing green jackets were spread fairly evenly throughout the stands, he still perceived all the people in green jackets as a single group of visiting fans. Blake's perception is most consistent with the Gestalt principle of:
similarity
information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experiences and expectations
top down
The phenomenon of size constancy implies that:
two objects may be perceived as being the same size even though they produce different size retinal images
