- DPlacement
9Subliminal perception is also know as perception without awareness
- ATrue
- BFalse
10[blank_start]Sensory adaptation[blank_end] has a [blank_start]natural occurrence [blank_end]because of prolonged exposure to stimuli that weakens the sensation effects
- ASensory adaptation
- Bnatural occurrence
- Cphysical occurrence
- Dabsolute threshold
11Breakdown of sensory and perception which leads to auditory, visual , tactile and olfactory form
- AAgnosia
- BJust noticeable difference
- CStimuli intensity
12Just noticeable difference is an alternative method for response which identifies a decrease intensity of stimulation
- ATrue
- BFalse
13The stimulus of vision
- ALight
- BSublight
- CElectromagnetic signal
14Light waves vary in [blank_start]amplitude[blank_end] and [blank_start]wavelength[blank_end]
- Aamplitude
- Bwavelength
15What are the properties and aspects of visual perception
- AAmplitude (brightness)
- BWavelength (color)
- CPurity(saturation)
- DAll of the above
16Light goes through the pupil then the corners and retina and is reflected on the lens which turns images upside down
- ATrue
- BFalse
17What are the two main functions of the eye
- ATransport stimuli to receptors for sensation
- BPart of image creating process
- CHouses neural tissue
- DChannel light towards retina
18Enables the eye to view objects near and far
- AMyopia
- BAstigmatism
- CAccommodation
- DOptical adjustment
19Two pathways in which vision reaches the brain is via [blank_start]superior collivulus[blank_end] and [blank_start]lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)[blank_end]
- Asuperior collivulus
- Blateral geniculate nucleus (LGN)
20Superior collivulus performs supplementary duties like perception processing
- ATrue
- BFalse
21Superior collivulus aids in perception of [blank_start]motion[blank_end] and coordination of [blank_start]visual[blank_end] input as well as other input
- Amotion
- Bvisual
22LGN is known as the main visual path because of its conscious vision perception
- ATrue
- BFalse
23LGN forms perception of [blank_start]color[blank_end] , form , contrast and motion
- Acolor
- Blight
- Cstimuli
- Dinstensity
24The rods and cones in the lens fire neural senses in order to process information
- ATrue
- BFalse
25Distance perception consists of only monocular and binocular vision
- ATrue
- BFalse
26[blank_start]Physiological[blank_end] perception is dependant on vision which is input from stimuli to give meaning of light waves
- APhysiological
- Bpsychological
- Cdepth
- Dvisual
27Shifting back and forth of [blank_start]information[blank_end] given about drawing causes [blank_start]perpetuatal[blank_end] set creates an interpretation of image shift
- Ainformation
- Bperpetuatal
28An example of visual illusion
- AMuller-layer illusion
- BPerception illusion
- COptical illusion
- DDistance illusion
29The mind reads letters and not whole words
- ATrue
- BFalse
30Depth involves the interpretation of pictorial depth cues to see how far or near something is
- ATrue
- BFalse
31Psychological perception is dependent on cognitive and affective association based on memory
- ATrue
- BFalse
32[blank_start]Gestalt principle[blank_end] states that the whole is greater than the sum as explained by phi phenomenon( illusion of movement by visual stimuli in fast succession)
- AGestalt principle
33Properties of sound are [blank_start]amplitude[blank_end] (loudness) , wavelength[blank_start](pitch)[blank_end], [blank_start]purity[blank_end] ( perception of timbre)
- Aamplitude
- B(pitch)
- Cpurity
34The characteristics of sound waves do not influence the quality of sound perceived
- ATrue
- BFalse
35What is the vibration of molecules called
- ASound waves
- BAuditory stimuli
- CAmplitude
36Suggests that sound waves of different frequencies trigger different hair receptors in different areas
- APlace theory (H von helmholtz)
- BFrequency theory (Rutherford)
- CDisplacement theory ( James Vicary)
37[blank_start]Frequency theory [blank_end]suggests that sound waves of different frequencies trigger and cause entire [blank_start]basilar membrane [blank_end]to vibrate at different frequency rates which cause the neural impulses to be sent to the [blank_start]brain[blank_end] for interpretation
- AFrequency theory
- Bbasilar membrane
- Cbrain
38[blank_start]Place theory[blank_end] Explains how perception and discrimination of pitch are influenced when certain places are triggered
- APlace theory
39Human hearing capacities offers us information about the world and meaning is attached only once perceived by brain
- ATrue
- BFalse
40Hearing process goes as follows. A) impulses are sent to brain via thalamus ,b) cochlea causes sound waves to send impulses to basilar membrane which causes sound conduction , c) pinna sends sound waves theory auditory canal to tympanic membrane ,d) waves trigger hair cells which respond to vibrations and send impulses, e) eardrum sends vibrations to 3 ossicles which are sent to oval window then inner ear
- AA, b, d ,c , e
- Bc,e,b,d,a
- Cd, a ,c,be
41Neural impulses are routed through the olfactory bulb and then sent to temporal lobe and other cortical areas where sensory input cannot go through thalamus
- AOlfactory system: taste
- BGustatory system :taste
- COlfactory system:smell
- DOlfactory receptors
42The brain pathway of taste is cells absorbing chemicals which trigger neural impulses and send information through thalamus and on to insular cortex (FL)
- ATrue
- BFalse
43[blank_start]Tactile localization[blank_end] is the ability to perceive where pressure is in skin and what form it takes
- ATactile localization
44There are two pathways via the free nerve endings
- ATrue
- BFalse
45[blank_start]Sense of touch[blank_end] delivers more direct contact with quick environmental as [blank_start]skin[blank_end] is the first point of contact
