1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quand se produit la première transformation dans le processus perceptuel ?
A. Lorsque la lumière frappe l’arbre.
B. Lorsque la lumière est réfléchie par l’arbre.
C. Lorsque la lumière entre dans l’œil.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« For example, the first transformation occurs when light hits the tree and is then reflected from the tree to the person’s eyes. The nature of the reflected light depends on properties of the light energy hitting the tree (is it the midday sun, light on an overcast day, or a spotlight illuminating the tree from below?), properties of the tree (its textures, shape, the fraction of light hitting it that it reflects), and properties of the atmosphere through which the light is transmitted (is the air clear, dusty, or foggy?). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.1 Why Read This Book?: Pourquoi étudier la perception peut-il être bénéfique, même si vous ne prévoyez pas de devenir médecin ou concepteur de véhicules autonomes ?
A. Pour comprendre les applications utiles.
B. Pour devenir plus conscient de vos propres expériences perceptuelles.
C. Pour apprécier la complexité et la beauté des mécanismes responsables de vos expériences perceptuelles.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.

« Studying perception can help you become more aware of the nature of your own perceptual experiences… you will come away from reading this book with a heightened appreciation of both the complexity and the beauty of the mechanisms responsible for your perceptual experiences » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 5).
1.1 Why Read This Book?: Quelle question ce livre peut-il vous aider à répondre ?
A. Pourquoi je perds mon sens du goût quand j’ai un rhume ?
B. Comment les artistes créent-ils une impression de profondeur dans une image ?
C. Pourquoi une langue inconnue semble-t-elle être un flux continu de sons ?
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
E.
« Many of the everyday experiences that you take for granted—such as tasting food, looking at a painting in a museum, or listening to someone talking—can be appreciated at a deeper level by considering questions such as “Why do I lose my sense of taste when I have a cold?” “How do artists create an impression of depth in a picture?” and “Why does an unfamiliar language sound as if it is one continuous stream of sound, without breaks between words?” » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 5).
1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Pourquoi ce livre est-il intitulé Sensation and Perception ?
A. Parce que les sensations sont historiquement importantes.
B. Parce que les chercheurs utilisent encore le terme sensation.
C. Parce que les sensations sont plus faciles à comprendre.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Sensation was discussed in the early history of perceptual psychology, and courses and textbooks followed suit by including sensation in their titles. But while researchers eventually stopped using the term sensation, the titles of the courses and books remained the same. So sensations are historically important (we will discuss this briefly in Chapter 5), but as far as we are concerned, everything that involves understanding how we experience the world through our senses comes under the heading of perception. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Pourquoi ce livre utilise-t-il principalement le terme perception plutôt que sensation ?
A. Parce que perception est plus couramment utilisé dans les recherches modernes.
B. Parce que sensation est un terme obsolète.
C. Parce que perception est plus facile à comprendre.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Perhaps the main reason not to use the term sensation is that, with the exception of papers on the history of perception research (Gilchrist, 2012), the term sensation appears only rarely in modern research papers (mainly in papers on the sense of taste, which refer to taste sensations, and touch which refer to touch sensations), whereas the term perception is extremely common. Despite the fact that introductory psychology books may distinguish between sensation and perception, most perception researchers don’t make this distinction. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Pourquoi les titres des cours et des livres ont-ils conservé le terme sensation ?
A. Parce que les chercheurs préfèrent ce terme.
B. Parce que les sensations sont historiquement importantes.
C. Parce que les étudiants comprennent mieux ce terme.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.

1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Qu’est-ce que le processus perceptuel implique ?
A. Il commence par un stimulus dans l’environnement.
B. Il se termine par la perception du stimulus.
C. Il inclut la reconnaissance du stimulus.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
E.
« With that bit of terminology out of the way, we are now ready to describe perception as involving a number of steps, which we will call the perceptual process. These steps begin with a stimulus in the environment and end with perceiving the stimulus, recognizing it, and taking action relative to it. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Qu’est-ce qui dépend fortement des processus qui se produisent au début d’un système sensoriel ?
A. Les expériences qui dépendent de l’interprétation et des expériences passées.
B. Les expériences qui dépendent des récepteurs sensoriels.
C. Les expériences qui utilisent des informations stockées dans le cerveau.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« As we will see in this book, there are experiences that depend heavily on processes that occur right at the beginning of a sensory system, in the sensory receptors or nearby, and there are other experiences that depend on interpretation and past experiences, using information stored in the brain. But this book takes the position that calling some processes sensation and others perception doesn’t add anything to our understanding of how our sensory experiences are created, so the term perception is used almost exclusively throughout this book. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.2 Why Is This Book Titled Sensation and Perception?: Quelle est la position du livre sur l’utilisation des termes sensation et perception ?
A. Les deux termes sont utilisés de manière interchangeable.
B. Le terme sensation est préféré.
C. Le terme perception est utilisé presque exclusivement.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.

1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Comment Dr. P. a-t-il décrit le gant montré par Sacks ?
A. Comme un gant.
B. Comme une surface continue avec cinq excroissances.
C. Comme un objet inconnu.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« He perceived the parts of objects but couldn’t identify the whole object, so when Sacks showed him a glove, as in Figure 1.8, Dr. P. described it as “a continuous surface unfolded on itself. It appears to have five outpouchings, if this is the word.” » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Comment Dr. P. identifiait-il ses étudiants malgré ses problèmes de reconnaissance visuelle ?
A. Par leur apparence.
B. Par le son de leur voix.
C. Par leur odeur.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« Dr. P., a well-known musician and music teacher, first noticed a problem when he began having trouble recognizing his students visually, although he could immediately identify them by the sound of their voices. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7):
Considérer ce passage: « For example, the visual and auditory representations of the tree change every time the person moves his body relative to the tree, as the tree might look and sound different from different angles, »
Comment les représentations visuelles et auditives de l’arbre changent-elles ?
A. Elles ne changent pas puisque le cerveau fabrique une image stable provenant de la rétine.
B. Elles changent chaque fois que la personne bouge son corps par rapport à l’arbre.
C. Elles changent chaque fois que la personne ferme les yeux.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« For example, the visual and auditory representations of the tree change every time the person moves his body relative to the tree, as the tree might look and sound different from different angles, and this change creates new representations and a new series of transformations. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Pourquoi certains chercheurs considèrent-ils l’action comme un résultat important du processus perceptuel ?
A. Parce qu’elle est cruciale pour la survie.
B. Parce qu’elle crée une perception consciente.
C. Parce qu’elle est inutile pour la survie.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Some researchers see action as an important outcome of the perceptual process because of its importance for survival. David Milner and Melvyn Goodale (1995) propose that early in the evolution of animals, the major goal of visual processing was not to create a conscious perception or “picture” of the environment but to help the animal control navigation, catch prey, avoid obstacles, and detect predators—all crucial functions for the animal’s survival. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Pourquoi le cas de Dr. P illustre qu’il est important de distinguer entre perception et reconnaissance ?
A. Parce que la perception et la reconnaissance sont la même chose.
B. Parce que la perception et la reconnaissance sont des processus dossiciables.
C. Parce que la perception est plus importante que la reconnaissance.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« The normally easy process of object recognition had, for Dr. P., been derailed by his brain tumor. He could perceive the object and recognize parts of it, but he couldn’t perceptually assemble the parts in a way that would enable him to recognize the object as a whole. Cases such as this show that it is important to distinguish between perception and recognition. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Pourquoi la perception est-elle un processus en constante évolution ?
A. Parce que la perception ne change jamais.
B. Parce que la perception conduit souvent à l’action.
C. Parce que la perception est statique.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« The fact that perception often leads to action—whether it be an animal’s increasing its vigilance when it hears a twig snap in the forest or a person’s deciding to interact with an object or just look more closely at something that looks interesting—means that perception is a continuously changing process. For example, the visual and auditory representations of the tree change every time the person moves his body relative to the tree, as the tree might look and sound different from different angles, and this change creates new representations and a new series of transformations. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Pourquoi le processus perceptuel est-il décrit comme dynamique et en constante évolution ?
A. Parce qu’il commence avec le stimulus distal et se termine avec la perception.
B. Parce qu’il commence avec la perception et se termine avec le stimulus distal.
C. Parce qu’il ne se réduit pas à une série d’étapes
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« Thus, although we can describe the perceptual process as a series of steps that “begins” with the distal stimulus and “ends” with perception, recognition, and action, the overall process is dynamic and continually changing. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quel était le principal objectif du traitement visuel au début de l’évolution des animaux, selon Milner et Goodale ?
A. Créer une perception consciente.
B. Aider l’animal à contrôler la navigation.
C. Aider l’animal à éviter les obstacles.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B et C

1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quel problème Dr. P. a-t-il commencé à remarquer en premier ?
A. Il avait du mal à reconnaître ses étudiants visuellement.
B. Il avait du mal à entendre ses étudiants.
C. Il avait du mal à parler à ses étudiants.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Dr. P., a well-known musician and music teacher, first noticed a problem when he began having trouble recognizing his students visually, although he could immediately identify them by the sound of their voices. But when Dr. P. began misperceiving common objects, for example addressing a parking meter as if it were a person or expecting a carved knob on a piece of furniture to engage him in conversation, it became clear that his problem was more serious than just a little forgetfulness. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quelle est la différence entre perception et reconnaissance ?
A. La perception est la catégorisation de l’objet, tandis que la reconnaissance est la conscience consciente de l’objet.
B. La perception est la conscience consciente de l’objet, tandis que la reconnaissance est la catégorisation de l’objet
C. La perception et la reconnaissance sont la même chose.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« We can distinguish between perception, which is conscious awareness of the tree, and recognition, which is placing an object in a category, such as “tree,” that gives it meaning, by considering the case of Dr. P., a patient described by neurologist Oliver Sacks (1985) in the title story of his book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quelle est la réponse finale dans le processus perceptuel ?
A. La perception.
B. La reconnaissance.
C. L’action.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« The final behavioral response is action (Step 7), which involves motor activities in response to the stimulus. For example, after having perceived and recognized the tree, the person might decide to walk toward the tree, touch the tree, have a picnic under it, or climb it. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quelle était la condition médicale de Dr. P. ?
A. Agnosie visuelle des formes.
B. Cécité.
C. Surdité.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Dr. P.’s problem was eventually diagnosed as visual form agnosia—an inability to recognize objects—that was caused by a brain tumor. He perceived the parts of objects but couldn’t identify the whole object, so when Sacks showed him a glove, as in Figure 1.8, Dr. P. described it as “a continuous surface unfolded on itself. It appears to have five outpouchings, if this is the word.” » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quelle hypothèse Dr. P. a-t-il faite sur l’objet montré par Sacks ?
A. Il a supposé que c’était un gant.
B. Il a supposé que c’était un récipient.
C. Il a supposé que c’était un chapeau.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« When Sacks asked him what it was, Dr. P. hypothesized that it was “a container of some sort. It could be a change purse, for example, for coins of five sizes.” » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Behavioral Responses (Steps 5–7): Quelle transformation se produit dans les réponses comportementales ?
A. Les signaux électriques sont transformés en énergie chimique.
B. Les signaux électriques sont transformés en expérience consciente de perception.
C. Les signaux électriques sont transformés en énergie thermique.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« Finally, after all of that transformation, transduction, transmission, and processing, we reach the behavioral responses (Figure 1.7). This transformation is perhaps the most miraculous of all, because electrical signals have been transformed into the conscious experience of perception (Step 5), which then leads to recognition (Step 6). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Comment les étapes du processus perceptuel peuvent-elles se dérouler ?
A. Toujours dans un ordre séquentiel.
B. Parfois en même temps.
C. Toujours en ordre inverse.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« Another reason we say that our process is simplified is that steps in the perceptual process do not always unfold in a one-follows-the-other order. For example, research has shown that perception (“I see something”) and recognition (“That’s a tree”) may not always happen one after another, but could happen at the same time, or even in reverse order (Gibson & Peterson, 1994; Peterson, 2019). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Comment les stimuli de l’environnement atteignent-ils les récepteurs sensoriels ?
A. Par la lumière réfléchie entrant dans l’œil.
B. Par les changements de pression de l’air entrant dans l’oreille.
C. Par la lumière réfléchie et les changements de pression de l’air.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« The person’s perception of the tree is based not on the tree getting into his eye or ear (ouch!), but on light reflected from the tree entering the eye and reaching the visual receptors, and the pressure changes in the air caused by the rustling leaves entering the ear and reaching the auditory receptors. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Pourquoi le stimulus distal est-il appelé ainsi ?
A. Parce qu’il est proche des récepteurs.
B. Parce qu’il est distant dans l’environnement.
C. Parce qu’il est interne au corps.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« We begin with the tree that the person is observing, which we call the distal stimulus (Step 1). It is called distal because it is “distant”—out there in the environment. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
Figure 1.4 The perceptual process. These seven steps, plus
“knowledge” inside the person’s brain, summarize the major events
that occur between the time a person looks at the stimulus in the
environment (the tree in this example) and perceives the tree,
recognizes it, and takes action toward it. Information about the
stimulus in the environment (the distal stimulus; Step 1) hits the
receptors, resulting in the proximal stimulus (Step 2), which is a representation of the stimulus on the retina. Receptor processes (Step 3) include transduction and the shaping of perception by the properties of the receptors. Neural processing (Step 4) involves interactions between the electrical signals traveling in networks of neurons. Finally, the behavioral responses—perception, recognition,
and action—are generated (Steps 5–7). (p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Qu’est-ce que le stimulus proximal ?
A. La lumière réfléchie par l’arbre entrant dans l’œil.
B. La pression des feuilles qui bougent.
C. La représentation de l’arbre sur les récepteurs.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« This representation of the tree on the receptors is the proximal stimulus (Step 2), so called because it is “in proximity” to the receptors. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
Figure 1.4 The perceptual process. These seven steps, plus

1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Que se passe-t-il après la transformation de l’image de l’arbre sur les récepteurs ?
A. La perception devient plus simple.
B. La transformation continue dans les récepteurs.
C. La reconnaissance se produit immédiatement.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« But this transformation from “tree” to “image of the tree on the receptors” is just the first in a series of transformations. We’re only on Step 2 of the perceptual process, and we can already begin to understand the complexity of perception in these transformations! The next transformation occurs within the receptors themselves. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quel principe central de la perception est introduit par la lumière et les ondes de pression ?
A. Le principe de transformation.
B. Le principe de proximité.
C. Le principe de distalité.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« The light and pressure waves that stimulate the receptors introduce one of the central principles of perception, the principle of transformation, which states that stimuli and responses created by stimuli are transformed, or changed, between the distal stimulus and perception. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quel principe de perception est introduit par l’image de l’arbre focalisée sur les récepteurs ?
A. Le principe de transformation.
B. Le principe de représentation.
C. Le principe de distalité.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« The fact that an image of the tree is focused on the receptors introduces another principle of perception, the principle of representation, which states that everything a person perceives is based not on direct contact with stimuli but on representations of stimuli that are formed on the receptors and the resulting activity in the person’s nervous system. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quelle distinction illustre à la fois la transformation et la représentation ?
A. La distinction entre le stimulus distal et le stimulus proximal.
B. La distinction entre la perception et la reconnaissance.
C. La distinction entre la lumière réfléchie et la lumière incidente.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« The distinction between the distal stimulus (Step 1) and the proximal stimulus (Step 2) illustrates both transformation and representation. The distal stimulus (the tree) is transformed into the proximal stimulus, and this image represents the tree in the person’s eyes. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quelles propriétés influencent la lumière réfléchie par l’arbre ?
A. Les propriétés de l’énergie lumineuse.
B. Les propriétés de l’arbre.
C. Les propriétés de l’atmosphère.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
E.
« The nature of the reflected light depends on properties of the light energy hitting the tree (is it the midday sun, light on an overcast day, or a spotlight illuminating the tree from below?), properties of the tree (its textures, shape, the fraction of light hitting it that it reflects), and properties of the atmosphere through which the light is transmitted (is the air clear, dusty, or foggy?). As this reflected light enters the eye, it is transformed again as it is focused by the eye’s optical system (discussed further in Chapter 3) onto the retina, a 0.4-mm-thick network of nerve cells which contains the receptors for vision. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Distal and Proximal Stimuli (Steps 1 and 2): Quels types de stimuli produisent des douleurs internes ?
A. Les stimuli externes.
B. Les stimuli internes.
C. Les stimuli distaux.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« There are stimuli within the body that produce internal pain and enable us to sense the positions of our body and limbs. But for the purposes of this discussion, we will focus on stimuli that exist “out there” in the environment, like a tree in the woods that you can see, hear, smell, and feel (and taste, if you wanted to be adventurous). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 7)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Comment l’expérience passée influence-t-elle la perception des scènes du monde réel ?
A. En rendant la perception impossible.
B. En jouant un rôle important dans la détermination de ce que nous percevons.
C. En empêchant la perception.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« However, as stimuli become more complex, the role of top-down processing increases. In fact, a person’s past experience is usually involved in perception of real-world scenes, even though in most cases the person is unaware of this influence. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Comment la connaissance acquise il y a des années influence-t-elle le processus perceptuel ?
A. En permettant de catégoriser les objets.
B. En empêchant de catégoriser les objets.
C. En rendant la perception impossible.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« An example of how knowledge acquired years ago can influence the perceptual process is your ability to categorize—to place objects into categories. This is something you do every time you name an object. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Comment la démonstration du rat-homme montre-t-elle l’influence de la connaissance récente sur la perception ?
A. En montrant que les gens identifient toujours la même figure.
B. En montrant que les gens identifient la figure en fonction de ce qu’ils ont vu précédemment.
C. En montrant que les gens ne peuvent pas identifier la figure.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« This demonstration, which is called the rat–man demonstration, shows how recently acquired knowledge (“that pattern is a rat”) can influence perception. An example of how knowledge acquired years ago can influence the perceptual process is your ability to categorize—to place objects into categories. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Comment la phrase
“M-RY H-D - L-TTL- L-MB”
illustre-t-elle le traitement descendant ?
A. En montrant que les gens ne peuvent pas lire la phrase.
B. En montrant que les gens utilisent leurs connaissances pour compléter les lettres manquantes.
C. En montrant que les gens ne peuvent pas utiliser leurs connaissances.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« To experience top-down processing in action, try reading the following sentence: MRY HD * LTTL L*MB. If you were able to do this, even though all of the vowels have been omitted, you probably used your knowledge of English words, how words are strung together to form sentences, and your familiarity with the nursery rhyme to create the sentence. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Dans quelles situations le traitement descendant peut-il ne pas être impliqué ?
A. Dans des situations impliquant des stimuli très simples.
B. Dans des situations impliquant des stimuli complexes.
C. Dans des situations impliquant des stimuli invisibles.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« There are some situations, typically involving very simple stimuli, in which top-down processing may not be involved. For example, perceiving a single flash of easily visible light is probably not affected by a person’s prior experience. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Le traitement descendant est-il toujours impliqué dans la perception ?
A. Oui, toujours.
B. Non, jamais.
C. Très souvent, mais pas toujours.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« Students often ask whether top-down processing is always involved in perception. The answer to this question is that it is “very often” involved. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Pourquoi la femme voit-elle le papillon de nuit sur l’arbre dans la Figure 1.10 ?
A. À cause des processus déclenchés par l’image du papillon de nuit sur ses récepteurs visuels.
B. À cause des processus déclenchés par ses connaissances préalables.
C. À cause des processus déclenchés par ses attentes.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.

« The woman sees the moth on the tree in Figure 1.10 because of processes triggered by the moth’s image on her visual receptors. The image is the “incoming data” that is the basis of bottom-up processing. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Qu’est-ce que la connaissance dans le processus perceptuel ?
A. Toute information que le percevant apporte à une situation.
B. Toute information que le percevant ignore.
C. Toute information que le percevant oublie.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Knowledge is any information that the perceiver brings to a situation, such as prior experience or expectations. Knowledge is placed inside the person’s brain in Figure 1.4 because it can affect a number of the steps in the perceptual process. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Qu’est-ce que le traitement ascendant (bottom-up processing) ?
A. Un traitement basé sur les stimuli atteignant les récepteurs.
B. Un traitement basé sur les connaissances préalables.
C. Un traitement basé sur les attentes.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Bottom-up processing (also called data-based processing) is processing that is based on the stimuli reaching the receptors. These stimuli provide the starting point for perception because, with the exception of unusual situations such as drug-induced perceptions or “seeing stars” from a bump to the head, perception involves activation of the receptors. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Knowledge: Qu’est-ce que le traitement descendant (top-down processing) ?
A. Un traitement basé sur les stimuli atteignant les récepteurs.
B. Un traitement basé sur les connaissances.
C. Un traitement basé sur les attentes.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« Top-down processing (also called knowledge-based processing) refers to processing that is based on knowledge. When the woman in Figure 1.10 labels what she is seeing as a “moth” or perhaps a particular kind of moth, she is accessing what she has learned about moths from prior experience. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 10)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Comment les signaux électriques sont-ils modifiés lorsqu’ils voyagent des récepteurs au cerveau ?
A. Ils sont amplifiés.
B. Ils sont réduits.
C. Ils sont amplifiés ou réduits.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« These changes occur because of interactions between neurons as the signals travel from the receptors to the brain. Because of this processing, some signals become reduced or are prevented from getting through, and others are amplified so they arrive at the brain with added strength. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Où les signaux électriques créés par la transduction sont-ils souvent envoyés ?

B. À la zone de réception primaire d’un sens dans le cortex cérébral.
C. À l’hippocampe.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« For instance, the electrical signals created through transduction are often sent to a sense’s primary receiving area in the cerebral cortex of the brain, as shown in Figure 1.6. The cerebral cortex is a 2-mm-thick layer that contains the machinery for creating perceptions, as well as other functions, such as language, memory, emotions, and thinking. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Pourquoi certains signaux sont-ils amplifiés lors du traitement neuronal ?
A. Pour qu’ils arrivent au cerveau avec une force accrue.
B. Pour qu’ils soient réduits.
C. Pour qu’ils soient bloqués.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« Because of this processing, some signals become reduced or are prevented from getting through, and others are amplified so they arrive at the brain with added strength. This processing then continues as signals travel to various places in the brain. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Pourquoi les changements dans les signaux électriques sont-ils cruciaux ?
A. Pour atteindre l’étape suivante du processus perceptuel.
B. Pour bloquer les signaux.
C. Pour réduire les signaux.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« It is important to note, however, that although these signals have changed, they still represent the tree. In fact, the changes that occur as the signals are transmitted and processed are crucial for achieving the next step in the perceptual process, the behavioral responses. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Qu’est-ce que le traitement neuronal ?
A. La transmission de signaux électriques.
B. La modification des signaux électriques.
C. La transmission et la modification des signaux électriques.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« The changes in these signals that occur as they are transmitted through this maze of neurons is called neural processing. This processing will be discussed in much more detail in later chapters as we describe each sense individually. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Que se passe-t-il une fois que la transduction a lieu ?
A. Le stimulus est transformé en énergie chimique.
B. Le stimulus est représenté par des signaux électriques.
C. Le stimulus est directement perçu par le cerveau.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« Once transduction occurs, the tree becomes represented by electrical signals in thousands of sensory receptors (visual receptors if you’re looking at the tree, auditory receptors if you’re hearing the leaves rustling, and so on). But what happens to these signals? As we will see in Chapter 2, they travel through a vast interconnected network of neurons that (1) transmit signals from the receptors to the brain and then within the brain; and (2) change (or process) these signals as they are transmitted. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Que signifie la séquence de transformations entre les récepteurs et le cerveau ?
A. Les signaux électriques restent les mêmes.
B. Les signaux électriques sont modifiés.
C. Les signaux électriques sont bloqués.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« The sequence of transformations that occurs between the receptors and the brain, and then within the brain, means that the pattern of electrical signals in the brain is changed compared to the electrical signals that left the receptors. It is important to note, however, that although these signals have changed, they still represent the tree. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8-9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Quel rôle joue le lobe frontal dans la perception ?
A. Il reçoit des signaux de tous les sens.
B. Il coordonne les informations reçues par deux sens ou plus.
C. Il reçoit des signaux de tous les sens et coordonne les informations reçues par deux sens ou plus.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« For example, the frontal lobe receives signals from all of the senses, and it plays an important role in perceptions that involve the coordination of information received through two or more senses. The sequence of transformations that occurs between the receptors and the brain, and then within the brain, means that the pattern of electrical signals in the brain is changed compared to the electrical signals that left the receptors. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8-9)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Neural Processing (Step 4): Quelle zone du cerveau reçoit les signaux pour la vision ?
A. Le lobe temporal.
B. Le lobe pariétal.
C. Le lobe occipital.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« The primary receiving area for vision occupies most of the occipital lobe; the area for hearing is located in part of the temporal lobe; and the area for the skin senses—touch, temperature, and pain—is located in an area in the parietal lobe. As we study each sense in detail, we will see that once signals reach the primary receiving areas, they are then transmitted to many other structures in the brain. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)

D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« As we will see in Chapter 2, they travel through a vast interconnected network of neurons that (1) transmit signals from the receptors to the brain and then within the brain; and (2) change (or process) these signals as they are transmitted. These changes occur because of interactions between neurons as the signals travel from the receptors to the brain. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 8)
1.3 The Perceptual Process: Pourquoi la Figure 1.4 est-elle considérée comme une version simplifiée du processus perceptuel ?
A. Parce qu’elle ne montre pas toutes les étapes.
B. Parce qu’elle ne concerne que la vision.
C. Parce que de nombreux événements se produisent dans chaque « boîte ».
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
C.
« Furthermore, because this process is involved in everything we will be describing in this book, it is important to note that Figure 1.4 is a simplified version of what happens. First, many things happen within each “box.” For example, “neural processing” involves understanding not only how cells called neurons work, but how they interact with each other and how they operate within different areas of the brain. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 6)
1.4 Studying the Perceptual Process: Quel est l’objectif de la recherche perceptuelle ?
A. Comprendre les relations entre stimulus, physiologie et comportement.
B. Comprendre les relations entre stimulus et récepteurs.
C. Comprendre les relations entre perception et reconnaissance.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« The goal of perceptual research is to understand the relationships indicated by arrows A, B, and C between these three components. For example, some research studies examine how we get from a stimulus to behavior (arrow A), such as the pressure of someone touching your shoulder (the stimulus) and feeling the touch and reacting to it (the behavior). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 11)
1.4 Studying the Perceptual Process: Quels sont les trois composants majeurs du processus perceptuel simplifié ?
A. Stimulus, Physiologie, Comportement.
B. Stimulus, Récepteurs, Neurones.
C. Perception, Reconnaissance, Action.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
A.
« To better understand how the perceptual process is studied, we can simplify it from seven steps (Figure 1.4) into three major components (Figure 1.11): Stimulus (distal and proximal; Steps 1–2), Physiology (receptors and neural processing; Steps 3–4), Behavior (perception, recognition, action; Steps 5–7). » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 11)
1.4 Studying the Perceptual Process: The Stimulus–Physiology Relationship (B): Comment David Coppola et ses collègues ont-ils mesuré l’effet oblique physiologiquement ?

B. En présentant des lignes de différentes orientations à des furets.
C. En présentant des lignes de différentes orientations à des souris.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« For example, David Coppola and coworkers (1998) measured the oblique effect physiologically by presenting lines with different orientations (Figure 1.14a) to ferrets. When they measured the ferret’s brain activity using a technique called optical brain imaging, they found that horizontal and vertical orientations caused larger brain responses in visual brain areas than oblique orientations. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 12)
1.4 Studying the Perceptual Process: The Stimulus–Physiology Relationship (B): Quelle technique a été utilisée pour mesurer l’activité cérébrale des furets ?
A. L’imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM).
B. L’imagerie cérébrale optique.
C. L’électroencéphalographie (EEG).
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« When they measured the ferret’s brain activity using a technique called optical brain imaging, they found that horizontal and vertical orientations caused larger brain responses in visual brain areas than oblique orientations (Figure 1.14b). This demonstrates how the oblique effect has been studied in the context of the stimulus–physiology relationship. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 12)
1.5 Measuring Perception: Comment le seuil absolu est-il mesuré dans l’expérience d’acuité de la grille ?
A. En augmentant la largeur des lignes.
B. En diminuant la largeur des lignes.
C. En maintenant la largeur des lignes constante.
D. Aucune de ces réponses.
E. Toutes ces réponses.
B.
« The grating acuity experiment described on page 12 (Figure 1.12) measured the absolute threshold for seeing fine lines. In the grating acuity example, this threshold was the smallest line width that can be detected. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 12)
Figure 1.12 Measuring grating acuity. The finest line width at
which a participant can perceive the bars in a black-and-white grating
stimulus is that participant’s grating acuity. Stimuli with different line
widths are presented one at a time, and the participant indicates
the grating’s orientation until the lines are so close together that the
participant can no longer indicate the orientation.
1.5 Measuring Perception: Measuring Perception Above Threshold: Question 3: How Quickly Can I React to It? Technique: Reaction Time: In the reaction time experiment described, where were participants asked to direct their attention?
A. To the center of the display
B. To location A on the left rectangle
C. To location B on the right rectangle
D. Aucune de ces réponses
E. Toutes ces réponses
B
« Because the participant is looking at the + but paying attention to the top of the left rectangle, this task resembles what happens when you are looking in one direction but are paying attention to something off to the side. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 16)
1.5 Measuring Perception: Measuring Perception Above Threshold: Question 3: How Quickly Can I React to It? Technique: Reaction Time: What did the results of the reaction time experiment indicate?
A. Participants responded more quickly when the target was flashed at B
B. Participants responded more quickly when the target was flashed at A
C. Participants responded equally quickly to targets flashed at A and B
D. Aucune de ces réponses
E. Toutes ces réponses
B
« The results, shown in Figure 1.20b, indicate that the participant responded more quickly when the target was flashed at A, where he or she was directing attention, compared to B, off to the side. » (Goldstein & Cacciamani, 2022, p. 16-17)
