2 Your sense of balance.

3 Vestibular sense

4 You and a friend see some hovering shapes in the sky. You say they are weather balloons, your friend says they are flying saucers. The two of you share a sensation, but differ in this.

11 Gestalt

12 Your dog’s ability to hear a whistle that you can’t is due to this.

13 Absolute thresholds (Dogs have sound receptors that can pick up higher frequency sounds than do humans. This means that dogs have a lower absolute threshold for sound than do humans. That is, dogs’ sound receptors are more sensitive)

14 The minimum difference needed to detect a stimulus 50% of the time.

15 Difference threshold

16 You don’t feel the watch on your wrist because of this.

17 Sensory Adaptation

18 When you are at prom talking with your friends and you hear a friend call your name in the midst of all of the noise. This illustrates:

30 Without these light receptors you’d see the world in black and white.

31 Rods

32 The Gestalt principle that things that are alike tend to be seen as going together.

33 Similarity

45 Signal Detection

46 This type of deafness might occur because you listened to music far too loud.
