10. Part of eye that stretches or thickens depending on how far away an object is

11. lens

12. What does the length of a light wave tell us? What does the height (amplitude) of a light wave tell us?

13. Length: Color Height: Brightness

14. Place where your vision is the best

15. fovea

16. Explain how your pupil and iris work together

17. Work together to determine how much light enters the eye – Iris expands when dark, contracts when bright

18. Name the three layers of cells that make up the retina (in order!)

19. Receptor cells (rods and cones) Bipolar cells Ganglion cells

20. Main organ of your ear

21. cochlea

22. What does the frequency of a sound wave indicate? Height (amplitude)?

23. Frequency: pitch Height: loudness

24. Name the parts of the outer ear

25. Auditory canal, tympanic membrane

26. What are the names of the three bones in your ear?

27. Bones of your middle ear; hammer, anvil, stirrup

28. Your receptor cells in your ears are called….

29. Hair cells

30. Taste and smell are what kind of senses?

31. chemical

32. Taste and smell combine to make...

33. flavor

34. The smell center of your brain is…

35. Olfactory Bulb

36. Name the four basic senses your skin receptor cells can detect

37. Pain, warmth, cold, and pressure

38. Name your 2 body senses and what they control

39. Kinesthetic sense: provides information on your body’s position and movement Vestibular: provides info about your overall orientation

40. What type of processing does perception use?

41. Top-down

42. What is a figure ground relationship?

43. Our brains organize our visual field into objects (the figure) that stand out from their surroundings (the ground)

44. Name the Gestalt grouping principles

45. Similarity, proximity, closure, continuity

46. What is a visual cliff and why is it used?

47. Laboratory device used to test depth in infants; Depth perception is inborn to some extent

48. Name and explain your 2 binocular depth cues

49. Retinal Disparity: depth cue that results because of different images on retinas Convergence: eye muscle tension

50. What are illusions and why do we use them?

51. Misinterpreting sensory stimuli Helps us understand how sensation and perception normally work

52. Name and explain 3 monocular depth cues

53. relative size; motion parallax; interposition; relative height; texture gradient; relative clarity, linear perspective

54. Explain the illusion of stroboscopic motion

55. Quickly viewing a series of slightly different images

56. Explain the phi phenomenon

57. Creates the illusion of movement when lights are turned off and on in a sequence

58. What is the gate- control theory of pain?

59. Neurological gate in spinal cord controls the amount of pain we feel

60. What is an absolute threshold?

61. Minimum amount of stimulation a person can normally detect

62. What is sensory adaptation and give an example

63. When we filter out the unchanging aspects of our environment

64. What is selective attention?

65. Ability to focus on one stimulus

66. What is perceptual constancy?

67. Perceiving the size, shape, and lightness of an object as unchanging, even as the retinal images of the object changes

68. What are the functions of the cornea?

69. Focus light by bending it and protects eye
