Unit 3: Sensation and Perception - Coggle Diagram

- - - - The lens focuses the rays by changing its curvature in a process called accommodation.
    - - rods: black, white, and grey color, periphery, high capture with dim light, low capture of color, low capture of details
      - cones: daily, light, detail
      - optic nerve: carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain.
      - blind spot: a place on retina, optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a “blind” spot because no receptor cells are located there.
      - fovea: the central focal point in the retina, around which the eye’s cones cluster
  - - - proximity:We perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones.
      - similarly: we group the same shape together
      - Continuity: We group nearby figures together.
      - Closure: We fill in gaps to create a complete, whole object
    - - Visual cliff:nfants and young animals
      - binocular cues: epth cues, such as retinal disparity, that depend on the use of two eyes.
      - retinal disparity: difference between two eye can tell us how depth
      - Monocular cue: depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.
    - - phi phenomenon:
      - Relative height
      - Relative motion
      - Relative size
      - Interposition
      - Light and shadow
      - Linear perspective
    - - Perceptual Constancy: erceiving objects as unchanging
      - color constancy: perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color
- - - - Spinal cord: contains a neurological “gate” that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.
      - when injury
        
        small: activities and open the gate
        
        large: shut the gate
- - - - subliminal: the stimuli that cannot be detected 50%
      - Signal detection theory: predicts when we will detect weak signals. seek to understand why people respond differently to the same stimuli
      - prime: the unconsciously activation of certain associations, thus predisposing one’s perception, memory, or response.
    - - Weber’s law: for an average person to perceive a difference, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage
- - - - bones
      - waves
      - Auditory canal
    - - Eardrum

        anvil
        
        Stirrup
        
        Hammer
    - - Oval window
      - Cochlea: sound waves traveling through
        
        Protruding hair cells
        
        Basilar membrane
        
        Motion of fluid in the cochlea
        
        Auditory nerve ➡️ Auditory cortex
        
        organ of Corti: a structure in the cochlea of the inner ear which produces nerve impulses in response to sound vibrations.
