Q

What was kohlers experiment?

A

The clolor and depth changing glasses with upside down side

19
Q

Where are the rods?

A

Out sides of retina responsible for periferal vision and black and white and motion sensitive

20
Q

Where are cones?

A

Middle area of eye sensitive to light an color and details

21
Q

Wavelength to?

A

Hue

22
Q

Brightness to?

A

Amplitude

23
Q

Purity to?

A

Saturation

24
Q

When is something less saturated?

A

If its closer to gray

25
Q

Helmholtz

A

Tri chromatic theory

26
Q

What were the old colors In tri chromatic theory? New colors?

A

Red green blue in the new they added yellow no red

27
Q

Hering

A

Opponent process-some rods only process color so those colors can’t be “mixed” in one color ex: no red-green

28
Q

Black is?

A

Absence of all colors

29
Q

White

A

Addition of all colors

30
Q

What percent of men have color problems?

A

8%

31
Q

Why do we see red?

A

Ancestral warning signs

32
Q

Intensity

A

Amount of energy in a light or sound

33
Q

Order of light strike

A

Cornea, iris, pupil, lens, fovea and retina

34
Q

Retina

A

The light sensitive inner surface of the eye containing cones and rods

35
Q

Blind spot

A

Where the optic nerve leaves the eye making it “blind” because there are no receptor cells are located there

36
Q

Feature detectors

A

Nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus like shape angle or movement

37
Q

Binocular cues

A

Depth cues such as desparity that depend on the use of two eyes

38
Q

Accommodation

A

The process by which the eyes lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina

39
Q

Fovea

A

The central focal point in the retina around which the eye cones cluster

40
Q

Rods come in

A

Sets of four

41
Q

How many cones are there?

A

6 million

42
Q

How many rods?

A

120 million

43
Q

Absolute threshold

A

The minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time

44
Q

What is transduction?

A

All of our senses receive transform and deliver
