motion The monocular cue of _ parallax explains why someone in a moving vehicle sees nearby objects, such as trees or road signs, pass by quickly.

#MOTION PARALLAX PSYCHOLOGY SERIES#
continuity Movies, which are a series of still pictures, are perceived as moving images because of the perceptual rule of _. afterimage The _ of a color is its complimentary color.
#MOTION PARALLAX PSYCHOLOGY SKIN#
skin Pressure, temperature, and pain are examples of _ senses. shape constancy We recognize that an object has only one shape- no matter what angle it is viewed from- because of _. binocular Retinal disparity is an example of a(n) _ cue. electromagnetic Light is made up of _ energy. colorblind A person who cannot perceive some colors is partially _. amplitude The loudness of a sound depends on the _ of sound waves. color circle The _ is the spectrum of light bent into a circle. monocular Perspective and texture gradients are examples of _ cues. blind spot The _, which has no photoreceptors, is the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye.

Smell dogs have a better sense of this than humans pressure the hair on the body helps you feel this auditory nerve receives impulses from the fluid in the cochlea monocular cues need only one eye to be perceived light electromagnetic energy taste sour is one kind of this conductive deafness deafness is caused by damage to the middle ear wavelength determines the color of light texture gradient surface quality and progressive change stirrup the smallest bone in the body complimentary if these colors are mixed they make gray common fate grouping things that belong together like a bunch of people running absolute threshold the weakest amount of stimulus that can be sensed olfactory nerve odor information travels to the brain on this sensation the stimulation of sensory receptors and the transmission of sensory information to the central nervous system signal detection theory the method of distinguishing sensory stimuli that takes into account setting, your physical state, mood and attitude pitch how high or low a sound is perception interpretation of sensory information lens adjusts to the distance of objects by changing thickness phantom pains amputees sometimes experience these pain this hurts! visual acuity sharpness of vision sensory receptors these are located around the root of body hair stroboscopic illusion of motion made by still pictures binocular cues require both eyes perspective the tendency for parallel lines to get closer when they move away snellan vision chart used to measure visual acuity higher the more cycles of sound per second, the sound is temperature how hot your body is afterimage you see this in complimentary colors after you have stopped looking at something sensorineural deafness deafness caused by damage to the inner ear visual illusions your eyes playing tricks on you loudness the amount of decibels a sound makes is called vestibular sense eyes closed but you know if you are standing up difference threshold the minimum amount of difference that can be detected between two stimuli size constancy knowing an object is still the same size regardless of distance away cochlea bony tube that contains fluid with neurons that move in response to vibrations of the fluids Gate theory only a certain amount of information can be processed by the nervous system at a time four the chapter we are studying blindspot the point where there are no photoreceptors on the optic nerve similarity grouping similar objects together retina the sensitive surface in the eye that acts like a camera pupil opening in the colored part of the eye cochlea bony tube in the inner ear that contains fluids and neurons stroboscopic motion illusion of movement produced by a rapid progression of images olfactory nerve nerve that sends information about odors to the brain photoreceptor neuron that is sensitive to light continuity perceptual preference for seeing smooth, continuous patterns closure tendency to perceive a whole figure even when there are gaps in sensory input rods and cones The two kinds of photoreceptors are: perception, sensation _ is the process by which we interpret sensory stimulation _ is the process of receiving sensory stimulation frequency A sound's pitch depends on its _.
