Answer
  • perception
  • sensation

Then conversion of sensory information into neural impulses is called
Answer
  • transduction
  • refraction
  • transfusion
  • transcendence

Question 4

Question
The smallest or weakest amount of particular stimulus required to produce any sensation at all in a person is the ________ threshold
Answer
  • absolute
  • minimum sensory
  • differnece
  • barely noticeable

Question 5

Question
The ________ threshold is the smallest amount of change in sensation that a person can detect.
Answer
  • captured
  • delta
  • absolute
  • difference

Question 6

Question
The process by which unchanging information from the senses of taste, touch, smell, and vision is "ignored" by the sensory receptor cells themselves is called
Answer
  • transformation
  • sensory adaptation
  • transmutaion
  • transuction

Question 7

Question
Bottom-up processing is initiated by _________
Answer
  • knowledge
  • expectation
  • the stimulus
  • belief

Question 8

Question
People's tendency to perceive a thing a certain way because their previous experiences or expectations influence them is called:
Answer
  • top-down processing
  • Weber's law
  • bottom-up processing
  • perceptual constancy

Question 9

Question
Frequency, amplitude, and saturation are three separate aspects of our experience of :
Answer
  • night vision
  • color
  • acuity
  • sensation

Question 10

Question
The shortest wavelengths we can see are experienced as ________ colors
Answer
  • red
  • violet
  • green
  • yellow

Question 11

Question
The frequency of the wavelength of light reaching your eyes determines in part what ________ you see.
Answer
  • brightness
  • saturation
  • hue
  • fine detail

Question 12

Question
Which component of the eye contains the visual photo-receptors?
Answer
  • sclera
  • retina
  • cornea
  • vitreous humor

Question 13

Question
It is difficult to distinguish between colors at night because:
Answer
  • we are seeing primarily in the cones
  • rods do not adapt to the darl
  • we are seeing primarily with the rods
  • we are used to seeing mostly with the fovea

Question 14

Question
Which of the following is true about cones?
Answer
  • They are responsible for black and white wishion
  • They are concentrated n the center of they eye
  • They operated mainly at night
  • They respond only to black and white

Question 15

Question
The _________ nerve is responsible for taking information from the eyes to the visual cortex in the back of the brain, where that information will be processed and interpreted
Answer
  • optic
  • vestibular
  • occipital
  • auricular

Question 16

Question
What causes the "blind spot" in the vision of both eyes?
Answer
  • the inconsistent surface of the cornea
  • the folded area of the fovea that occurs where the cones are the most dense
  • the optic nerve passing through the retina as it leaves the eye
  • the concentration of ganglion cells in the center of the optic nerve blocking light

Question 17

Question
The idea that the eye contains separate receptors for red, green and blue is known as the ___________ theory.
Answer
  • opponent-process
  • additive color mixing
  • trichromatic
  • reductive color mixing

Question 18

Question
According to the opponent-process theory of color vision, two of the correct pairings of opposite colors are ___________.
Answer
  • red versus green and blue versus yellow
  • black versus gray and white versus colored
  • blue versus red and green versus yellow
  • blue versus green and red versus yellow

Question 19

Question
The trichromatic and opponent-process theories of color vission are not in conflict because each corresponds to:
Answer
  • a different portion of the spectrum
  • the opposite half of perceivable colors
  • one type of color blindness
  • a different stage of visual processing

Question 20

Question
Sound waves are simply:
Answer
  • the vibration of the molecules of the air surrounding us
  • the impact of acoustrons in the air
  • a form of electronic radiation
  • the result of emitted photons from a source

Question 21

Question
Which of the following properties of sound would be the most similar to the color, or hue, of light
Answer
  • pitch
  • loudness
  • timbre
  • purity

Question 22

Question
Pitch is to frequency as
Answer
  • frequency is to amplitude
  • high is to low
  • volume is to amplitude
  • peak is to wave

Question 23

Question
Which physical feature of the human head allows us to engage in the process of sound localization?
Answer
  • our nose and chin are located between our ears on the front of our faces
  • our cochleae are spiral-shaped instead of straight and flat
  • our ears are located directly adjacent to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum
  • our ears are located on opposite sides of our heads

Question 24

Question
Which of the following describes what happens if you trace an auditory stimulus from the time it first reaches the ear until it arrives at the brain?
Answer
  • The outermost part of the ear (pinna) gathers sound waves and funnels them down the ear canal striking the eardrum
  • The basilar membrane causes the hammer, anvil, and stirrup to vibrate striking the oval window
  • The auditory cones respond to the various tonal frequencies, which lead the auditory nerve to send a message to the brain
  • The auditory nerve joins with the nasal verve to produce an input to the olfactory lobe

Question 25

Question
Which of the following houses the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
Answer
  • hair cells
  • organs of Corti
  • basilar membranes
  • tectorial membranes

Question 26

Question
Lemmy has been told by his doctor that he is experiencing ___________ due to hair cells that were destroyed as a result of loud sounds
Answer
  • sensorineural hearing loss
  • tinnitus
  • conductive hearing loss
  • a speech segmentation problem

Question 27

Question
What is the leading preventable cause of hearing loss in human beings?
Answer
  • ingestion of oto-toxic medications during infancy
  • exposure to loud noises
  • prenatal exposure to teratogens that interrupt normal hearing development
  • penetrating or traumatic head injuries
