1Smell and taste are called [blank_start]chemical senses[blank_end] because they [blank_start]detect chemicals[blank_end].
- Achemical senses
- Benergy senses
- Cflavor senses
- Dmemory senses
- Edetect chemicals
- Fsend impulses to the brain as energy
- Gcreate flavor by mixing smell and taste
- Hsend impulses to the brain as chemicals
- Iboth have powerful connections to memory
2Our sense of smell may be a powerful trigger for memories because
- AWe are conditioned from birth to make strong connections between smells and events
- BThe nerve connecting the olfactory bulb sends impulses directly to the limbic system
- CThe receptors at the top of each nostril connect with the cortex
- Dsmell is a powerful cue for encoding memories into long-term memory.
- Estrong smells encourage us to process events deeply so they will most likely be remembered.
3The cochlea is responsible for
- Aprotecting the surface of the eye.
- Btransmitting vibrations received by the eardrum to the hammer, anvil, and stirrup.
- Ctransforming vibrations into neural signals
- Dcoordinating impulses from the rods and cones
- Esending messages to the brain about orientation of the head and body
4In a perception research lab, you are asked to describe the shape of the top of a box as the box is slowly rotated. Which concept are the researchers most likely investigating?
- Afeature detectors in the retina
- Bfeature detectors in the occipital lobe
- Cplacement of rods and cones in the retina
- Dbinocular depth cues
- Eshape constancy
5The blind spot in our eye results from
- Athe lack of receptors at the spot where the optic nerve connects to the retina
- Bthe shadow the pupil makes on the retina
- Ccompeting processing between the visual vortices in the left and right hemisphere
- Dfloating debris in the space between the lens and the retina
- Eretinal damage from bright light.
6What is the principal different between amplitude and frequency in the context of sound waves?
- Aamplitude is the tone or timbre of a sound, whereas frequency is the pitch.
- Bamplitude is detected in the cochlea, whereas frequency is detected in the auditory cortex.
- Camplitude is the height of the sound wave, whereas frequency is a measure of how frequently the sound waves pass a given point.
- Dboth measure qualities of sound, but frequency is more accurate measure since it measures the shapes of the waves rather than the strength of the waves.
- Efrequency is a measure for light waves, whereas amplitude is a measure for sound waves.
