Q

Sensory Adaptation

A

refer to the situation when you have decreasing responses to a stimuli due to constant stimulation
(ex. 방에 들어가서 냄새를 맡다가 어느새 적응해서 아무 냄새도 안 느껴짐)
because your nerve cells fire less frequently

Q

Different Threshold

A

Known as Just Noticeable Difference (JND)
is the smallest amount by which a stimulus must be changed in order for the change to be detectable at least half of the time

너가 데드리프트를 100kg하는중에 조금씩 무게를 올리면 인지를 못함 (because it is below your difference threshold)
근데 한번에 무게를 많이 올리면 체감이 확 옴 (because it is above your difference threshold)

Q

Weber’s Law

A

Principle describing the relationship between stimulus and resulting sensation, stating that the JND is a constant proportion of the original intensity of the stimulus

Changes are relative to initial weight or intensity
가방에 이미 책들이 있는데 책들을 더 추가하면 별로 차이를 못 느낌
하지만, 아무것도 없는 가방에 책을 넣으면 체감이 확 옴

Q

Selective Attention

A

Our focus on a particular stimulus among others

ex) Imagine a party where people starts to talk at once. If someone talks to you you might tune into the conversation even though the environment is loud. Your selective Attention makes you more focus toward the conversation = this is the cocktail party Effect

Q

Inattentional Blindness

A

Occurs when you fail to see visible objects when your attention is focused elsewhere

Involve ability to perceive spatial relationships (how far the objects are from us)
26
Monocular Cues
Cues available with only one eye like interposition, relative height, relative motion, linear perspective, relative size, and light and shadows
27
Binocular Cues
Cues that depend on the use of both eyes. Retinal Disparity
28
Retinal Disparity
The ability to difference between the two image (judge distance)
29
Perceptual Constancy
perceive moving objects as unchanging 자동차가 점점 내쪽으로 오는데 물체가 진짜로 커지는 것은 아니지만 가까이 오고 있어서 커지는 것을 느낌
30
Visual Capture
refer to the dominance of vision over other sense modalities in creating a perception (Our vision often takes charge and influence our perception more than any other senses) 우리가 마술을 볼때 분명 가짜인것을 알지만 눈으로 속아서 실제로 마법처럼 보인다
31
Stroboscopic Effect
visual phenomenon where continuous motions is presented by a series of short instantaneous sample 우리가 만화를 볼때 사실은 연속적인 영상이 아니라 일정한 장면들을 하나하나 빠르게 이어 붙인 것
32
phi phenomenon
우리가 series of light bulbs들을 볼때 단순히 불들이 껏다 켜졌다 할 뿐이지만 우리는 그게 불빛이 움직이는 것으로 착각
33
Autokinetic effect
when you stare at a spot of light projected on the wall for a long time 우리가 불빛을 오랫동안 쳐다볼때 그 불빛이 움직인다고 착각을 함
34
Constancy
maintain constant perception
35
Size constancy
위치에 따라 물체의 사이즈가 달라짐 (차가 가깝거나 멀거나)
36

37
Brightness Constancy
미술에서 그림자를 표현하는 것처럼
38
Culture
refer to shared belief, values, behavior patterns and artifacts that characterize a group of people
39
Muller - Lyer illusion
그 막대기 두개 인데 양끝쪽에 모양만 다름 those who come from noncarpentered cultures (cultures that don't use right angles and corners when building architecture) are usually not fooled by the illusion (this shows that the culture plays a huge role in perception)
40
electromagnetic spectrum
Humans see visible light. The spectrum varies in wavelength from 400nm to 700nm, purple to red
41
intensity
Amount of energy in light (when light is bright is has a high light intensity) Intensity affected by the amplitude (wave's height)
42
Hue
main properties of color, defined by a particular wavelength within the visible light spectrum
43
Cornea
Thin tissue that protects the eye and bends light to provide focus 볼록하고 투명한 부위
44
pupil
a small opening controlled by the iris
45
Iris
colored muscle that constricts (gets smaller) or dilates (gets larger) based on light intensity 빛을 세게 받으면 눈 사이즈가 작아짐
46
Lens
focuses incoming light onto the retina as an upside-down image and changes the shape of light (accommodation)
47
Retina
visual information begins to be processed as this is where transduction occurs
48
Transduction
the process of changing physical energy to neural impulses so that the brain can understand them
49
Rods and Cones
(photoreceptor cells) Rods - detect black, white, and gray Cones - color receptors
50
Ganglion cell
projection neurons of the vertebrate retina
51
Young-Helmholtz Trichromatic Theory
theory that the retina contains three different color receptors (RGB) they conclude that these three colors combine to produce the other colors we see
52
Opponent- Process Theory (Ewald Hering)
color vision depends on three sets of opposing retinal processes red - green blue - yellow white - black 우리가 미국 국기를 1분간 쳐다보다가 흰색 바탕을 봤을때 미국의 국기 색깔이 다르게 보임 (초록색과 노랑색, 검정색)
53
Group Principles
Similarity - we group similar figures together ex) we perceive a group of baseball players wearing the same color jersey as one team Proximity - we group nearby figures together ex) we perceive players sitting together on a bench as one team Continuity - we perceive smooth, continuous patterns rather than discontinuous ones Closure - we fill in gaps to create a complete, whole objects Connectedness - we perceive items that are uniform and linked as a single unit
54
Gibson and Walk study
아기가 과연 depth를 구별할 수 있는지 없는지에 관한 실험 착시현상으로 절벽에 놓여있는 아기가 과연 바닥을 건널지 안건널지를 보는 실험
55
Relative Size
If two images are, in reality, the same size, we would perceive the one closest to us to be larger 원근감
56
Interposition
If one image covers another, it looks closer, larger
57
Relative Motion/ Motion Parallax
When we are in motion the objects we see thinks as they are moving 우리가 차안에서 바깥을 볼때 나무들이 움직이는 것처럼 보임 하지만 사실은 우리가 움직이는 것임
58
Fovea Vision
foveal vision plays a crucial role in our ability to perceive fine details and perform tasks that require precise visual discrimination.
59
Pinna
Outer part of the ear and channels the sound wave into the ear canal
60
Auditory Canal
고막까지의 귀 통로
61
Ear drum
tight membrane, and when sound waves hit it vibrates (고막)
62
3 bone in the middle ear
Hammer, anvil, stirrup) translate the vibration to the cochlea cause the oval window (cochlea's membrane to vibrate)
63
cochlea
physical stimuli of the sound wave is converted into a neural impulse
64
Sensorineural hearing loss (nerve deafness)
caused by damage to the cochlea's cells or damage to the auditory nerve signal is transferred to the cochlea but not to the brain
65
Conduction hearing loss
caused by damage to the system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea - may be damage done to the eardrum or the middle ear bones
66
place theory
explains how we hear high-pitched sounds high pitch have high frequency meaning it will peak near the close ends of the basiliar membrane. Low pitch would be the opposite so would be hard for us to hear
67
basiliar membrane
the main mechanical element from the inner ear membrane
68
Frequency Theory
explains how we hear low-pitched sounds
69
volley principle
explain that since neurons cannot fire more than 1000 times in a minute, some neurons alternate firing
70
Gustation
5 main taste receptors Sweet sour salty bitter umami
71
Olfaction
Smell (enabled our survival)
72
Gate-control theory
Melzack/Wall the spinal cord, where pain signals are sent, has a neurological gate that can block or allow a pain signal to go to the brain The gate is opened by small nerve fibers that carry pain signals and closed by larger nerve fibers or information coming from the brain
73
Vestibular Sense
your sense of movement, including balance semicircular canals and vestibular sacs in the inner ear are responsible for keeping balance
74
