  24. 108/100 = 1.08 and 8% of 500 is 40, so 540 lumens. Weber’s Law Main Menu

  25. Why is sensory adaptation adaptive (helpful for survival)? Answer

  26. In our environments, changes are usually more important (as threats and opportunities) than constant or unchanging stimuli. Main Menu

  27. If you see Nessie when told to look for her, this is ______ ___. Answer

  28. Perceptual Set Main Menu

  29. What are the two binocular cues for depth? Explain how they work. Answer

  30. Retinal Disparity – each eye gets a different image and the brain uses them to create the perception of depth Convergence – the eyes turn in when looking at something and the brain “knows” close things make the eyes converge more. Main Menu

  31. Why doesn’t sensory adaptation happen with visionwhen we stare at something? Answer

  32. Eyes always jiggle slightly. Main Menu

  33. Long wavelength visible light with a high amplitude would be perceived as _____ _____. Answer

  38. Rod or Cone • Bipolar Cell • Ganglion Cell • Optic Nerve • Visual Cortex Main Menu

  39. Where are rods and cones in the retina, and what are they good at? Answer

  40. Cones are in the fovea (center of retina) and are good at color and fine detail. Rods are in the periphery of the retina and are good at sensing dim light of any color, which is perceived as white. Main Menu

  41. Staring at a waterfall might produce the illusion of upward motion because downward motion ________ ________ get fatigued. Answer

  42. Feature detectors Main Menu

  43. The Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic Theory says we have ___ types of cones sensitive to ____, ____, and ____ light, and that yellow is achieved when ____ and ____ cones near each other are stimulated. Answer

  44. 3, red, green, blue red, green Main Menu

  45. The opponent-process theory of color vision says there are these 3 systems at the level of the ganglia: Answer

  46. Red-Green Blue-Yellow White-Black Main Menu
