This means that the needs in the LOWEST part of the pyramid are more important than the HIGHEST part of the pyramid!, Skinner, Maslow, True or False - TRANSDUCTION is the process of turning SENSORY stimuli into NEUTRAL impulses., true, false, True or False - The ABSOLUTE THRESHOLD is the MINIMUM amount of stimuli necessary to detect or feel its presence., false, true, The difference threshold is also called a just notable difference (JND) which is..., the MINIMUM amount of change necessary before we notice it, the MAXIMUM amount of change necessary before we notice it, True or False - The difference threshold and just notable difference model follow..., state laws, Weber's law, True or False - Weber's law means the bigger the stimulus, the bigger the change needed before we notice it., true, false, True or False - Top-Down Processing breaks the WHOLE into PARTS. It's when we have a preexisting idea of something and then we take in sensory information. It's like seeing a duck in the clouds!, false, true, True or False - Bottom-Up Processing is when we take the parts first to make a whole, and take SENSORY info first, and then it makes sense., true, false, ________________ Adaptation is when we have diminished sensitivity as a result of constant stimulation. It's like when we get used to a bad smell very quickly!, sensory, memory, True or False - In vision, TRANSDUCTION occurs when the rods/cones change lightwaves into NEURAL IMPULSES., false, true, The __________ protects the eye., retina, cornea, True or False - The PUPIL or IRIS controls the amount of light entering the eye., true, false, The ___________ focuses light on the retina., pupil, lens, ___________ are black or white, dim or light, rods, cones, __________ have color, bright light (especially red, green and blue!)., rods, cones, What occurs when the OPTIC NERVE leaves the eye?, sight spot, blind spot, What are specialized cells that see motion, shapes, lines, etc. that are located in the occipital lobe?, feature detectors, invisible detectors, True or False - There are theories of COLOR VISION., true, false, TRIchromatic means..., three cones for receiving color (blue, green and red), two cones for receiving color, True or False - Color blindness is when someone is missing a cone type., true, false, This is the process when complementary colors are processed in ganglion cells.

What is this called?, retinal disparity, occipital disparity, What causes eye strain more (looking inward) as objects draw nearer?, divergence, convergence, In hearing, _______ occurs in the cochlea, when the hair cells move and cause neurons to fire!, transduction, transformation, This sense is the "gate-control theory" which means we have a "gate" to control how much pain is experienced., pain, kinesthetic, _______________ is the sense of body position., kinesthetic, vestibular, ____________ is the sense of balance., kinesthetic, vestibular, Taste is also called _______________., Digestion, Gustation, There are 5 taste receptors: bitter, salty, sweet, unami and ____________., delicious, sour, Another word for "smell" is..., olfaction, action, True or False - Smell is the ONLY sense that does NOT route through the thalamus first BECAUSE it goes through the temporal lobe and the amygdala., false, true, Stage 3 Sleep is a DEEP sleep that helps replenish the body's chemicals, and builds the ________________ system., immune, nervous, True or False - Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, is when you are dreaming and there is cognitive processing., true, false
