  1. Myers EXPLORING PSYCHOLOGY (6th Edition in Modules) Module 12 The Other Senses James A. McCubbin, PhD Clemson University Worth Publishers

  2. Hearing • Visual Capture • tendency for vision to dominate the other senses • Audition • the sense of hearing

  3. Hearing • Frequency • the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a given time • Pitch • a tone’s highness or lowness • depends on frequency

  4. Great amplitude (bright colors, loud sounds) Short wavelength=high frequency (bluish colors, high-pitched sounds) Long wavelength=low frequency (reddish colors, low-pitched sounds) Small amplitude (dull colors, soft sounds) Vision: Physical Properties of Waves

  5. The Intensity of Some Common Sounds

  6. Hearing: The Ear • Middle Ear • chamber between eardrum and cochlea containing three tiny bones (hammer, anvil, stirrup) that concentrate the vibrations of the eardrum on the cochlea’s oval window • Inner Ear • innermost part of the ear, continuing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs • Cochlea • coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which

  7. How We Locate Sounds

  8. Touch • Skin Sensations • pressure • only skin sensation with identifiable receptors • warmth • cold • pain

  9. Pain • Gate-Control Theory • theory that the spinal cord contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain • “gate” opened by the activity of pain signals traveling up small nerve fibers • “gate” closed by activity in larger fibers or by information coming from the brain

  10. Taste • Taste Sensations • sweet • sour • salty • bitter • Sensory Interaction • the principle that one sense may influence another • as when the smell of food influences its taste

  11. Olfactory nerve Olfactory bulb Receptor cells in olfactory membrane Nasal passage Smell

  12. The Olfactory Brain

  13. Body Position and Movement • Kinesthesis • the system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts • Vestibular Sense • the sense of body movement and position • including the sense of balance
