Topics of this game:
- Analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information
- Information processing guided by higher-level mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations
- Conversion of one form of energy into another. In sensation, the transforming of stimulus energies, such as sights, sounds, and smells, into neural impulses our brains can interpret
- A theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus ("Signal") amid background stimulation ("Noise")
- The minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time
- The smallest change in stimulation that a person can detect 50% of the time
- The central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster
- Individual neurons—or groups of neurons—in the brain which code for perceptually significant stimuli
- The difference in image location of an object seen by the left and right eyes, resulting from the eyes' horizontal separation
- An apparent, but not actual, drop from one surface to another
- Theory states that within your eye are tiny cells that can receive waves of light and translate them into one of three colors: blue, green, and red
- Theory of emotional and motivational states that is proposed by psychologist Richard Solomon
- Theory in psychology proposes an explanation of how human beings perceive pitch
- The pitch of a sound wave, nerve impulses of a corresponding frequency will be sent to the auditory nerve
- A mechanism, in the spinal cord, in which pain signals can be sent up to the brain to be processed to accentuate the possible perceived pain, or attenuate it at the spinal cord itself
- Allows us to move smoothly
- Similarity, continuation, closure, proximity, figure/ground, and symmetry & order
- Simple shapes arranged together can create a more complex image
- Things that are seen as similar on some other dimension are seen as being together
- Ability to continue the same way indefinitely
