Perception and sensation Flashcards
what is part of the eye that is a gap in the retina or is known as your blind spot?
Optic disk
what is part of the eye that has all your rods and cones?
Retina
what are photoreceptors do?
they are sensory cell receptors that detect of light, perceived as site
what is mechanoreception?
type of sensory receptor cells that can contribute to hearing or touch
what is part of your eye that is a muscle that constricts and releases the pupell?
Iris
what depth is Retinal disparity?
Binocular vison
What is Psychophysics?
study of body reactivity
What is sensation responsible for?
receptor responding
what is the psychology of when something flows, wave function?
Continuity
What is part of your eye that is a gap in your eye to let light waves in?
pupil
what is part of the eye that sends information to your occipital lobe?
Optic nerve
what is part of your eye that is a muscle that pulls on the lens to constrict or enlarge it?
Ciliary body
this is part of your eye that is sensitive to light
rods
what relies on one eye, moving away it gets more narrow? an example would be a road.
linear perspective
this is part of your eye that allows you to see color
Cones
what allows your brain to determine if something is close or really close
Convergence
What is when something is close to you and another that is in the distance
Texture gradient
what is Chemoreception?
2 types of sensory receptor cells that contribute to smell and taste
What is the psychology of when you see columns and rows?
Proximity
what is part of your eye where light is being refracted?
Lens
What is Perception responsible for?
Processing
what are the impaired colors?
Blue, yellow. Red ,green. black and white.
what how things are position is going to tell you hoe far or close something is?
interposition
what is used to perceive depth between two near objects?
Rental disparity
what is the law of seeing whole things not parts?
Law of pragnanz
what is part of the eye that is at the point that you can see the clearest?
Fovea
What is transduction responsible for?
convert stimulation or action potential
what is a law when you can or not tell the difference between things?
Weber’s law
what depth is convergence?
Binocular vison
what is a sensory receptor responsible for?
Selective transductors (light wave)
what is the measure of a threshold that has minimal intensity?
Absolute threshold
what is part of your eye that is the protective coding and that bends light?
Cornea
what is the measure of a threshold that can miss information?
Absolute threshold
what is the psychology of when your mind fills in gaps?
Closure
what is the psychology of the brain taking everything in at once, grouping things?
similarity
what involves visually separating an object from its surroundings?
Grouping
