    Myers' PSYCHOLOGY

    Chapter 5

    Sensation

    Sensation

    * Sensation

    * a process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energy

    * Perception

    * a process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events

    Sensation

    * Our sensory and perceptual processes work together to help us sort out complext processes

    Sensation

    * Bottom-Up Processing

    * analysis that begins with the sense receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information

    * Top-Down Processing

    * information processing guided by higher-level mental processes

    * as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations

    Sensation- Basic Principles

    * Psychophysics

    * study of the relationship between physical characteristics of stimuli and our psychological experience of them

    * Light-brightness

    * Sound-volume

    * Pressure-weight

    * Taste-sweetness

    Sensation- Thresholds

    * Absolute Threshold

    * minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50% of the time

    * Difference Threshold

    * minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50% of the time

    * just noticeable difference (JND)

    Sensation- Thresholds

    * Signal Detection Theory

    * predicts how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus (signal) amid background stimulation (noise)

    * assumes that there is no single absolute threshold

    * detection depends partly on person's

    * experience

    * expectations

    * motivation

    * level of fatigue

    Sensation- Thresholds

    * Subliminal

    * When stimuli are below one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness

    Sensation- Thresholds

    * Weber's Law-to perceive as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage

    * light intensity-8%

    * weight-2%

    * tone frequency-0.3%

    * Sensory adaptation-diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation

    Vision- Stabilized Images on the Retina

    Vision

    * Transduction

    * conversion of one form of energy to another

    * in sensation, transforming of stimulus energies into neural impulses

    * Wavelength

    * the distance from the peak of one wave to the peak of the next

    Vision

    * Hue

    * dimension of color determined by wavelength of light

    * Intensity

    * amount of energy in a wave determined by amplitude

    * brightness

    * loudness

    Vision-Physical Properties of Waves

    Vision

    * Pupil-adjustable opening in the center of the eye

    * Iris- a ring of muscle that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening

    * Lens-transparent structure behind pupil that changes shape to focus images on the retina

    Vision

    Vision

    * Accommodation- the process by which the eye's lens changes shape to help focus near or far objects on the retina

    * Retina- the light-sensitive inner serface of the eye, containing receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the processing of visual information

    Vision

    * Acuity- the sharpness of vision

    * Nearsightedness- condition in which nearby objects are seen more clearly than distant objects because distant objects in front of retina

    * Farsightedness- condition in which faraway objects are seen more clearly than near objects because the image of near objects is focused behind retina

    Vision

    * Normal Nearsighted FarsightedVision VisionVision

    Retina's Reactionto Light- Receptors

    * Rods

    * peripheral retina

    * detect black, white and gray

    * twilight or low light

    * Cones

    * near center of retina

    * fine detail and color vision

    * daylight or well-lit conditions

    Retina's Reactionto Light

    * Optic nerve- nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain

    * Blind Spot- point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a "blind spot" because there are no receptor cells located there

    * Fovea- central point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster

    Vision- Receptors

    Pathways from the Eyes to the Visual Cortex

    Visual Information Processing

    * Feature Detectors

    * nerve cells in the brain thatrespond to specific features

    * shape

    * angle

    * movement

    How the Brain Perceives

    Illusory Contours

    Visual Information Processing

    * Parallel Processing

    * simultaneous processing of several aspects of a problem simultaneously

    Visual Information Processing

    * Trichromatic (three color) Theory

    * Young and Helmholtz

    * three different retinal color receptors

    * red

    * green

    * blue

    Color-Deficient Vision

    * People who suffer red-green blindness have trouble perceiving the number within the design

    Visual Information Processing

    Opponent-Process Theory-opposing retinal processes enable color vision

    "ON""OFF"

    red green

    green red

    blue yellow

    yellow blue

    black white

    white black

    Opponent Process- Afterimage Effect

    Visual Information Processing

    * Color Constancy

    * Perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object

    Audition

    * Audition

    * the sense of 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

    The Intensity of Some Common Sounds

    Audition- 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, contining the cochlea, semicurcular canals, and vestibular sacs

    * Cochlea

    * coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in the inner ear through which

    Audition

    * Place Theory

    * the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated

    * Frequency Theory

    * the theory that the rate of nerve impulses traveling up the auditory nerve matches the frequency of a tone, thus enabling us to sense its pitch

    How We Locate Sounds

    Audition

    * Conduction Hearing Loss

    * hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea

    * Nerve Hearing Loss

    * hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptor cells or to the auditory nerve

    Audition

    * Older people tend to hear low frequencies well but suffer hearing loss for high frequencies

    Touch

    * Skin Sensations

    * pressure

    * only skin sensation with identifiable receptors

    * warmth

    * cold

    * pain

    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

    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

    Smell

    Age, Sex and Sense of Smell

    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
