Sensation And Perception 1 Jeopardy Template

sensing the world: basic principles	selective attention	thresholds	sensory adaption	vision
100 sensation the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from your environment	100 selective attention the focusing of conscious awareness on a particular stimulus	100 psychophysics the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them	100 sensory adaption diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation	100 transduction conversion of one form of energy into another
200 perception the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events	200 inattentional blindness failing to see visible objects when our attention is directed elsewhere	200 absolute threshold the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time	500 what is the function of sensory adaptation? sensory adaptation focuses our attention on informative changes in our enviornment	200 wavelength the distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak on the next wave
300 bottom-up processing analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up the brains integration of sensory information	300 change blindness failing to notice changes in the environment.	300 signal detection theory and subliminal 1.) a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus amid background stimulation 2) below ones absolute threshold for conscious awareness	300 hue the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light
400 top-down processing information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations	400 how are we affected by selective attention? we selectively attend to, and process, a very limited aspect of incoming information, blocking out most, often shifting the spotlight of our attention from one thing to another. we even display inattentional blindness to events and changes in our visual w	400 priming and difference threshold 1.) the activation, often unconsciously, of certain associations, thus, predisposing ones perception, memory, or response 2.) the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50 percent of the time.	400 intensity the amount of energy in a light or sound wave, which we perceive as brightness or loudness
500 What are the parts of the eye? pupil, iris, lens, retina, accommodation, rods, cones, optic nerve, blind spot, and fovea
