1. Differentiate perception from sensation. Give example for each.

-Although they are related, They also have different roles in how we
interpret our world. Sensation refers to the process of sensing our
environment through touch, taste, sight, sound, and smell and this
information is sent to our brains in raw form where perception comes into
play and Perception is mainly how our brain interprets a sensation
2. What is prosopagnosia?
-Is a neurological disorder that impairs a persons ability to perceive or
recognize faces also known as FACE BLINDNEsS.
3. Why do you sometimes hear only 50% of the stimulus at the time?
-because, our brain is complicated
4. Why can't you hear weak stimulus?
- because sometimes Im focusing on something so that I cant hear some
weak stimulus in the sorroundings.
5. How does color blindness occurs?
- when one or more of the cone types are faulty. For example, if the red
cone is faulty you wont be able to see colours containing red clearly.
6 Differentiate dichromatic from trichromatic
-The difference between trichromatic and dichromatic is, Trichromatic is
sensing 3 colors but dichromatic is sensing only 2 colors .
7. What is the job of bipolar cells?
- The bipolar cell exists between photoreceptors (rod cells and cone cells)
and ganglion cells. They act, directly or indirectly, to transmit signals from
the photoreceptors to the ganglion cells.
8. What carries nerve impulses from eyeballs to brain?
-The Auditary Nerve carries nerve impulses from eyeball to brain.
9. What is the job of fusiform gyrus?
- The left fusiform gyrus recognizes "face-like" features in objects that may
or may not be actual faces and the right fusiform gyrus determines
whether or not the recognized "face-like" feature is, in fact, an actual face.
10. How many minutes does the video ran?
- 10 minutes

Define the following terms:


1. Absolute threshold sensation
- Absolute threshold is the lowest level of a stimulus light, sound, touch,
etc.that an organism can detect.
- is the lowest intensity at which a stimulus can be detected 50% of the
time.
2. Signal detection theory
- is a means to quantify the ability to discern between information-bearing
patterns and random patterns that distract from the information.
3. Sensory adaptation
- is defined as the diminished sensitivity to a stimulus as a consequence of
constant exposure to that stimulus.
4. Difference threshold
-is the minimum amount that something needs to change in order for a
person to notice a difference 50% of the time. The concept of difference
thresholds applies to all areas of perception; hearing, touch, sight, taste,
and smell all have thresholds that need to be met before any changes in
stimuli are sensed.
5. Young Helmholtz trichromatic theory
-Its postulated that there three kinds of cones in the retina which
stimulates colors red, green and blue.
6. Opponent-process theory
- is a psychological and neurological model that accounts for a wide range
of behaviors, including color vision.
7. Feature detectors
-it specialized nerve cells in the visual cortex that are in the brain and
respond to specific characteristics of a visual stimulus.
8. Parallel processing
-it is the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli of
differing quality. This becomes most important in vision, as the brain
divides what it sees into four components: color, motion, shape, and
depth
