1
Kartenlink
0
Changing one form if energy into another. In sensation, the tranforming of stimulus energies, such as sights sounds and smells into neural impulses our brains can interpret.
Transduction
2
Kartenlink
0
The minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time

Absolute threshold
3
Kartenlink
0
Below our absolute threshold for concious awareness 
Subliminal
4
Kartenlink
0
Activating often unconciously associations in our minds thus setting us up to percieve or remember objects or events in certain ways
Priming
5
Kartenlink
0
The minimum difference between 2 stimuli required for a detection 50% of the time
Difference stimuli
6
Kartenlink
0
The principle that to be perceived as different 2 stimuli must differ by a constant
minimum proportion (rather than a constant amount).
Weber's law
7
Kartenlink
0
Reduced sensitivity in response to constant stimulation
Sensory adaptation
8
Kartenlink
0
The distance from the peak of one light or sound wave to the peak of the next
Wavelength
9
Kartenlink
0
The dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light; what we know as the color names blue green and so forth
Hue
10
Kartenlink
0
The amount of energy in the light or sound wave which we perceive as brightness or loudness as determined by the waves amplitude
Intensity
11
Kartenlink
0
the light-sensitive inner surface of the eye; contains the receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the proccessing of visual information
retina
12
Kartenlink
0
retinal receptors that detect black, white and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision, when cones don't respond
rods
13
Kartenlink
0
the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
optic nerve
14
Kartenlink
0
retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina; in day light or well lit conditions, these detect fine detail and give rise to color sensations
cones
15
Kartenlink
0
the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye; this part of the retina is "blind" because it has no receptor cells
blind spot
16
Kartenlink
0
nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of a stimulus, such as edges, lines and angles
feature detectors
17
Kartenlink
0
the proccessing of many aspects of a problem or scene at the same time; the brain's natural mode of information proccessing for many functions, including vision
parallel proccessing
18
Kartenlink
0
the scene or act of hearing
audition
19
Kartenlink
0
the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time
frequency
20
Kartenlink
0
a tone's experienced highness of lowness; depends on the frequency
pitch
21
Kartenlink
0
a coiled, bony, fluid filled tube in the inner ear; sound waves traveling through this fluid trigger nerve impulses
cochlea
22
Kartenlink
0
a social interaction in which one person suggests to another that certain perceptions, feelings, thoughts, or behaviors will spontaneously occur
hypnosis
23
Kartenlink
0
the principle that one sense may influence another as when the smell of food influences its taste
sensory interaction
24
Kartenlink
0
the system of sensing the position and movement of individual body parts
kinesthesis
25
Kartenlink
0
the sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance
vestibular sense
26
Kartenlink
0
an organized whole. These psychologist emphasized our tendency to integrate pieces of information into meaningful wholes
gestalt
27
Kartenlink
0
the organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings
figure-ground
28
Kartenlink
0
the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into meaningful groups
grouping
29
Kartenlink
0
the ability to see objects in their dimensions, although the images that strike the retina are two-dimensional; allows us to judge distance
depth perception
30
Kartenlink
0
a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals
visual cliffs
31
Kartenlink
0
depth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depends on the use of two eyes
binocular cues
32
Kartenlink
0
a binocular cue for perceiving depth; by comparing images from the two eyeballs, the brain computes distance - the greater disparity between two images, the closer the object
retinal disparity
33
Kartenlink
0
depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone
monocular cues
34
Kartenlink
0
perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change
perceptual constancy
35
Kartenlink
0
perceiving familiar objects as having a constant color, even if changing illumination alerts the wavelengths reflected by the object
color constancy
36
Kartenlink
0
in vision, the ability to adjust to an artificially displaced or even inverted visual field
perceptual adaptation
37
Kartenlink
0
a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another
perceptual set
38
Kartenlink
0
the controversial claim that perception can occur apart from sensory input, such as through telepathy, clairvoyance, and precognition
extrasensory perception
