Grudge. Modules 12 – 15. We will split into 4/5 teams. Each group will be given 10 X’s. Your group will be given a question. Answer it right and you get to erase two X’s from other groups. If you lose all of your X’s, your group is eliminated . Grudge Rules.

Grudge Modules 12 – 15
We will split into 4/5 teams. • Each group will be given 10 X’s. • Your group will be given a question. Answer it right and you get to erase two X’s from other groups. • If you lose all of your X’s, your group is eliminated. Grudge Rules
The only sense that doesn’t pass through the thalamus on its way to the brain. Smell
The back part of your eye that contains rods and cones. Retina
Messages that are below one’s absolute threshold. Subliminal
Light rays focus in front of the retina and creates this type of vision problem. Nearsightedness
This nerve carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain. Optic Nerve
Focusing on one thing allows us to block out other things going on. (Gorilla Video) Selective Attention
Simultaneously analyzing different elements of sensory information such as color, brightness, shape, depth. Parallel Processing
The idea that one sense may influence another sense is called: Sensory Interaction
Our body’s sense that provides information about the position and movement of our body parts is called: Kinesthesis
Color depends on context. Just because you change the background around a color doesn’t change the color. Color Constancy
The sense of hearing is called this. Audition
This Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic theory says that our retinas have these 3 types of color receptors. Red, Blue, and Green
Light rays focus in back of the retina and creates this type of vision problem. Farsightedness
Colored ring of muscle, constricts or dilates depending on the amount of light. Iris
This theory of pain states that messages must pass through the spinal cord to reach the brain. Gate-Control Theory
These are 3 fluid filled bony channels in the inner ear that help maintain balance. Semicircular Canals
Height of a wave. Amplitude
The ability to focus on one voice in a room full of people. Cocktail Party Effect
Brightness of light Intensity
We become dizzy if the fluids in this part of our ear have not returned to normal. Semicircular Canals
The distance from one wave peak to the next. Wavelength
This theory states that opposing retinal processes enable color vision. Red & Green, Yellow & Blue, White & Black. Opponent-Process Theory
Laser eye surgery in which a flap is cut into the cornea to access the tissue behind it. LASIK
The study of how physical stimuli are translated into psychological experience. Psychophysics
The five basic taste sensations are: Sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and umami
These receptors detects color and allows you to see in bright light. Cones
Transformation of stimulus energy (light, sound, etc.) to neural impulses our brains can interpret. Transduction
Taste receptors reproduce this often. Every week or two
The region of the ear that contains the semicircular canals. Inner Ear
These are chemicals released by animals to attract other animals. Pheromones
Vibrations on this part of the cochlea causes movement of the fluids inside. Oval Window
Point in your retina where there are no receptor cells. Blind Spot
The basilar membrane is lined with these cells that move with vibrations from sound. Hair Cells
Images the briefly appear after the actual image is removed. Afterimages
Theory in which we hear different pitches because different sound waves trigger activity at different places in the cochlea. Place Theory
This is what our body does with the information we sense. Perception
Theory in which we sense pitch at the same rate as the sound entering the basilar membrane. Frequency Theory
These receptors detect black, white, and gray. They also allow you to see in low light. Rods
