Question 18

sensory adaptation

Question 19

coding/encoding

Question 20

temporal codes

Question 21

spatial codes

Question 22

tympanic membrane

Question 23

(ossicles) hammer, anvil, stirrup

Question 24

cochlea

Question 25

basilar membrane

Question 26

primary auditory cortex

Question 27

conduction/conductive deafness

Answer 27

hole in your eardrum due to fluid or excessive ear wax; ossicles are impaired

Question 28

sensorineural hearing loss/nerve deafness

Answer 28

hair cells in the cochlea are damaged due to old age or extended exposure to loud noise; once hair cells are gone, they won’t come back

Question 29

place theory

the light we see (400-700 nanometers)

Question 32

cornea

Answer 32

protective layer of eye (accessory structure)

Question 33

pupil

Answer 33

opening of eye; allows light in (accessory structure)

Question 34

iris

Answer 34

color of our eye (accessory structure)

Question 35

lens

Answer 35

bends light to focus on retina (accessory structure)

Question 36

retina

Answer 36

where transduction takes place

Question 37

retinal disparity

Question 38

ocular accommodation/accommodation

Answer 38

ability of lens to bend/change shape

Question 39

dark adaption

Answer 39

ability to see in dim light

Question 40

rods

Answer 40

black and white/see in the dark; peripheral vision

Question 41

cones

Answer 41

help see color

Question 42

fovea

Answer 42

region in the retina with the highest concentration of cones

Answer 43

ability to see details; greatest in the fovea

Question 44

ganglion cells

Question 45

blind spot

Answer 45

light insensitive point; where optic nerve leaves eyeball

Question 46

primary visual cortex

Answer 46

in occipital lobe; first to receive visual information

Question 47

hue

Answer 47

the exact shade/color your referring to

Question 48

saturation

Answer 48

the fullness/vividness of color

opponent process theory

Answer 50

color sensitive elements are opposite of one another; red/green, blue/yellow, black/white

Question 51

afterimage effect

Answer 51

image stays temporary

Question 52
