Q

Olfactory nerve

A

Converts chemicals into neural messages

21
Q

Optical nerve

A

Connects retina to the thalamus. Sends images to thalamus

22
Q

Partial lobe

A

Touch,taste, and kin

23
Q

Perception

A

One’s interpretation of things

24
Q

Pitch

A

Number of waves in a sound wave

25
Q

Pupil

A

Dilates to let light in

26
Q

Retina

A

Where transduction occurs

27
Q

Rods

A

Brightness

28
Q

Cones

A

Tells us color

29
Q

Sensation

A

Information is sent to your brain from the outside world

30
Q

Sensorineural deafness

A

Damage to inner ear

31
Q

Taste buds

A

Transduction for taste

32
Q

Temporal lobe

A

Hearing

33
Q

Vestibular sense

A

Aka “semicircular canals” tells us balance, direction, gravity and movement.

34
Q

How are smell and taste related?

A

Smell and taste combined makes flavor

35
Q

5 taste qualities

A

Sweet, salty, savory, sour, and bitter

36
Q

Why is there a blind spot

A

Part of the eye where the optic nerve covers the retina. There’s no photoreceptors

37
Q

How do you soundwaves work?

A

Sound waves vibrate through the bones and not ears transduce into neural messages

38
Q

We group by

A

Similarity, proximity, and continuity

39
Q

5 examples of gestalt perception

A
  • change/new
    *constants
    *figure-ground
    *closure issues
    *grouping
40
Q

Why does perception fail?

A
  1. Can’t understand the sensation
  2. We misinterpret the sensation.
41
Q

Perceptional constant

A

We can recognize things under many different conditions and situations

42
Q

Top down processing

A

(Concept driven processing) perceptions are guided by our brains, memory and experience

43
Q

Bottom up processing

A

Our perceptions are guided by a sensation or stimulus

44
Q

Blinding problem

A

How our brain uses sensory information, emotion, memory, and combines these to make a perception

45
Q

Feature detectors

A

Area specialized in perception of our senses they glow when a perception occurs

46
Q

PAG

A

Peri aqueductal gate

47
Q

Pain travels through spinal cord to the frontal lobe center forehead

A

Also known as anterior cingulate cortex

48
Q
