Questions:

1. Explain the difference between absolute threshold and difference threshold. The absolute threshold is the minimum magnitude or strength that a stimulus must reach to activate sensory systems. The least level of stimuli that a person can perceive 50% of the time is known as the difference threshold.

2. Explain how the differences in wavelength correspond to vision and hearing. The visual system typically associates a light wave's amplitude with brightness and its wavelength with color. In the auditory system, a sound's amplitude and frequency are both related to its pitch and loudness.

3. Explain how the differences in wave amplitude correspond to vision and hearing. In the visual system, a light wave's amplitude and wavelength are typically related to brightness and color

4. Explain how the differences in wave range correspond to vision and hearing.

5. Describe light adaptation and dark adaptation and provide an example of when each may occur.

6. What is the process of transduction?

7. Where are the sensory receptors that correspond to each of the following senses:

vision

audition

gustation

olfaction

touch

vestibular sense

kinesthesia

8.Where does the body have concentrated receptors and why?

9.Define perception.

10/Explain how selection attention, feature detectors, and habituation all play a role in the selection stage of perception.

11.What are the five Gestalt principles of organization?

12.What are the four perceptual constancies that help organize our perception?

13.What are binocular cues and how do they contribute to our depth perception?

14.What are the seven monocular cues?

15.What are reversible figures and how do they help us understand perception?

16.What is prosopagnosia?

17.Know the structures involved in visual and auditory processing, and the corresponding function of each structure.

For each of the following diagrams, label and define each of the structures contained within that organ.
