The process of making our sensations meaningful.

The stimulus energy of vision.

This determines how bright a color appears.

Determines the pitch of a sound.

The dominant theory of pain that believes pain signals are either blocked or allowed to pass.

The transformation of a stimulus energy (such as light waves) into a neural impulse.

This determines the color of a something.

The theory of color that relies on our red, green, and blue receptors.

Part of the ear that sound waves initially come in contact with that sends a chain reaction amplifying them.

Our inner ear gives us this sense of balance.

Using previous experience and expectations to process sensory information.

The muscle that controls how much light passes through the pupil.

The reason we still perceive a door as a rectangle even if the actual image you see is not a rectangle (i.e., open door).

Part of the ear that contains hair cells, which receive sound waves.

Receptor that detects proteins in food.

The point at which you hear a sound 50% of the time.

The fovea contains more of these light receptors which allow us to see color.

Neurons in our visual cortex that allow us to perceive lines, shapes, movement, etc.

The most common type of deafness caused by damage to the hair cells or nerve cells.

The only sense that is not relayed through the thalamus before being perceived.

When the situation affects your perception.

Depth cues that do not rely on having 2 eyes (e.g., interposition, linear perspective).

The ability to see 3D close-up because of this binocular cue.

Theory that links sound heard to the location on the cochlea that it stimulates.

When our sensations and emotions affect our perception.
