- Astimulation; recognistion
- Bawareness; interpretation
- Cinterpretation; awareness
- Dorganization; interpretation
2Activation of specific receptors by stimuli is called __________.
- Aperception
- Bsensation
- Cadaptation
- Dhabituation
3Then conversion of sensory information into neural impulses is called
- Atransduction
- Brefraction
- Ctransfusion
- Dtranscendence
4The smallest or weakest amount of particular stimulus required to produce any sensation at all in a person is the ________ threshold
- Aabsolute
- Bminimum sensory
- Cdiffernece
- Dbarely noticeable
5The ________ threshold is the smallest amount of change in sensation that a person can detect.
- Acaptured
- Bdelta
- Cabsolute
- Ddifference
6The process by which unchanging information from the senses of taste, touch, smell, and vision is "ignored" by the sensory receptor cells themselves is called
- Atransformation
- Bsensory adaptation
- Ctransmutaion
- Dtransuction
7Bottom-up processing is initiated by _________
- Aknowledge
- Bexpectation
- Cthe stimulus
- Dbelief
8People's tendency to perceive a thing a certain way because their previous experiences or expectations influence them is called:
- Atop-down processing
- BWeber's law
- Cbottom-up processing
- Dperceptual constancy
9Frequency, amplitude, and saturation are three separate aspects of our experience of :
- Anight vision
- Bcolor
- Cacuity
- Dsensation
10The shortest wavelengths we can see are experienced as ________ colors
- Ared
- Bviolet
- Cgreen
- Dyellow
11The frequency of the wavelength of light reaching your eyes determines in part what ________ you see.
- Abrightness
- Bsaturation
- Chue
- Dfine detail
12Which component of the eye contains the visual photo-receptors?
- Asclera
- Bretina
- Ccornea
- Dvitreous humor
13It is difficult to distinguish between colors at night because:
- Awe are seeing primarily in the cones
- Brods do not adapt to the darl
- Cwe are seeing primarily with the rods
- Dwe are used to seeing mostly with the fovea
14Which of the following is true about cones?
- AThey are responsible for black and white wishion
- BThey are concentrated n the center of they eye
- CThey operated mainly at night
- DThey respond only to black and white
15The _________ 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
- Aoptic
- Bvestibular
- Coccipital
- Dauricular
16What causes the "blind spot" in the vision of both eyes?
- Athe inconsistent surface of the cornea
- Bthe folded area of the fovea that occurs where the cones are the most dense
- Cthe optic nerve passing through the retina as it leaves the eye
- Dthe concentration of ganglion cells in the center of the optic nerve blocking light
17The idea that the eye contains separate receptors for red, green and blue is known as the ___________ theory.
- Aopponent-process
- Badditive color mixing
- Ctrichromatic
- Dreductive color mixing
18According to the opponent-process theory of color vision, two of the correct pairings of opposite colors are ___________.
- Ared versus green and blue versus yellow
- Bblack versus gray and white versus colored
- Cblue versus red and green versus yellow
- Dblue versus green and red versus yellow
19The trichromatic and opponent-process theories of color vission are not in conflict because each corresponds to:
- Aa different portion of the spectrum
- Bthe opposite half of perceivable colors
- Cone type of color blindness
- Da different stage of visual processing
20Sound waves are simply:
- Athe vibration of the molecules of the air surrounding us
- Bthe impact of acoustrons in the air
- Ca form of electronic radiation
- Dthe result of emitted photons from a source
21Which of the following properties of sound would be the most similar to the color, or hue, of light
- Apitch
- Bloudness
- Ctimbre
- Dpurity
22Pitch is to frequency as
- Afrequency is to amplitude
- Bhigh is to low
- Cvolume is to amplitude
- Dpeak is to wave
23Which physical feature of the human head allows us to engage in the process of sound localization?
- Aour nose and chin are located between our ears on the front of our faces
- Bour cochleae are spiral-shaped instead of straight and flat
- Cour ears are located directly adjacent to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum
- Dour ears are located on opposite sides of our heads
24Which 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?
- AThe outermost part of the ear (pinna) gathers sound waves and funnels them down the ear canal striking the eardrum
- BThe basilar membrane causes the hammer, anvil, and stirrup to vibrate striking the oval window
- CThe auditory cones respond to the various tonal frequencies, which lead the auditory nerve to send a message to the brain
- DThe auditory nerve joins with the nasal verve to produce an input to the olfactory lobe
25Which of the following houses the auditory receptors where sound waves finally become neural impulses?
- Ahair cells
- Borgans of Corti
- Cbasilar membranes
- Dtectorial membranes
26Lemmy has been told by his doctor that he is experiencing ___________ due to hair cells that were destroyed as a result of loud sounds
- Asensorineural hearing loss
- Btinnitus
- Cconductive hearing loss
- Da speech segmentation problem
27What is the leading preventable cause of hearing loss in human beings?
- Aingestion of oto-toxic medications during infancy
- Bexposure to loud noises
- Cprenatal exposure to teratogens that interrupt normal hearing development
- Dpenetrating or traumatic head injuries
