5
|
Processing that begins at the entry level and works up.
|
|
7
|
The minimum stimulation necessary to detect light, sound, pressure, taste or odor.
|
|
8
|
Minimum difference a person can detect between two stimuli. Also known as just noticeable difference.
|
|
9
|
Theory created by Young and Helmholtz that hypothesizes that we have three types of cones in the retina. These cones detect the colors blue, red, and green (the primary colors of light).
|
|
10
|
Processing that uses experience and expectation to construct perceptions and then draws on sensation.
|
|
13
|
This sense tells how our body is oriented in space. Three semi-circular canals in the inner ear give the brain feedback about body orientation.
|
|
16
|
Theory that predicts when we will detect weak signals measured as a ratio of 'hits' to 'false alarms'.
|
|
17
|
Theory that helps explain how we experience pain the way we do. Explains that some pain messages have a higher priority than others.
|
|
18
|
This sense gives us feedback about the position and orientation of specific body parts. Receptors in our muscles and joints send information to our brain about our limbs.
|
|
19
|
Theory that states lower tones are sensed by the rate at which the cells fire. Demonstrates that the Place Theory accurately describes how hair cells sense the upper range of pitches but not the lower tones.

|
|
|
1
|
The transportation or transformation of something from one form, place, or concept to another.
|
|
2
|
The study of how physical energy relates to experience and in it, stimuli, intensity and sensitivity are calculated.
|
|
3
|
Theory that states that the hair cells in the cochela respond to different frequencies of sound based on where they are located in the cochela. Created by Helmholtz.
|
|
4
|
Determines the height of the wave and the loudness of the sound, which is measured in decibels.
|
|
6
|
Theory that states that the sensory receptors arranged in the retina come in pairs: red-green, yellow-blue, black-white. Created by Hering.
|
|
11
|
Law that states in order for stimuli to be noticed, it must differ in percentage, not constant amount.
|
|
12
|
Refers to the length of the waves and determines pitch, measured in megahurtz.
|
|
14
|
Law that states constant increases in a sensation produce smaller increases in perceived magnitude.
|
|
15
|
Inability to recognize faces due to brain damage. Resulting in the inability to complete Top-Down Processing.
