Visual Perception

Question 0

Reception

Answer 0

The process of sensory receptors detecting the presence of a stimulus or changes to a stimulus (in visual perception, when light is detected by photoreceptors

Question 1

Sensation/Perception

Answer 1

A physiological process involving sensory receptors detecting and responding to the presence of stimuli

Question 2

Transmission

Answer 2

When neural impulses leave sensory receptors and are transmitted to the brain via s neural pathway (in visual reception, when neural impulses of the light stimulus leave the photoreceptors and travel to the brains occipital lobe via the optic nerve)

Question 3

Transduction

Answer 3

Sensory receptors converting stimulus energy into impulses of electrochemical energy

Question 4

Selection

Answer 4

Feature detector cells responding to specific features of a stimulus pattern

Question 5

Feature detector cells

Answer 5

Neurons specialised to respond to specific perceptual features

Question 6

Perceptual features

Answer 6

Basic elements of a stimulus pattern (lines, shapes, patterns

Question 7

Organisation

Answer 8

Rules out brain automatically applies to visual stimuli

Question 9

Interpretation

Answer 9
