Down: 1) A theory proposing that color vision is based on three types of cone receptors, each sensitive to different wavelengths of light (red, green, and blue). The brain combines signals from these cones to create the perception of a wide range of colors.2) chemicals substances released by animals including humans,that trigger social or behavioral responses in other of the same species.they play a role in communication,mating,and territorial marking. 3) a theory of pitch perception proposing that the frequency of a sound wave directly corresponds to the rate at which auditory nerve fibers fire. Higher frequency sounds lead to faster firing rates, in higher perceived pitches.4) minimum level of stimulus needed for detection, determines if a stimulus can be noticed at all. 5) the principle that one sense can influence another, such as when smell affects taste. It demonstrates how our senses work together to create our overall perception of the world. 6) hearing impairment caused by problems with the outer or middle ear, such as damage to the ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear bones. It typically results in difficulty hearing soft sounds and can often be treated medically or surgically. 8) responsible for smell. Special receptors in the nose detect smells and send signals to the brain via the olfactory nerve. The thalamus helps process this information allowing us to identify different odors. 9) the distance between sound wave peaks. Shorter wavelengths mean higher-pitched sounds, sound, while longer wavelengths mean lower-pitched sounds 10)  the measurements of the intensity or loudness of a sound wave, represented by the heights of its peaks. Greater amplitude corresponds to louder sounds, while lower amplitude indicates softer sounds. 11) the brain's interpretation of the frequency of sound waves. Determining whether a sound is high or low in tone. Higher frequencies are perceived as higher pitches, while lower frequencies are perceived as lower pitches. Across: 7) hearing impairment caused by problems with the outer or middle ear, such as damage to the ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear bones. It typically results in difficulty hearing soft sounds and can often be treated medically or surgically. 12) a theory of pitch perception proposing that groups of auditory neurons form in succession, or “volleys”, to encode the frequency of sounds above 100hz. This allows the brain to perceive pitches that exceed the firing rate of individual neurons. 13) hearing loss caused by damage to the inner ear of the auditory nerve. It results in difficulty hearing soft sounds and understanding speech, and it is often permanent. Common causes include aging,exposure to loud noise, and certain medical conditions. 14) idea that different parts of the ear detect different sound frequencies. High pitches are sensed near the entrance, low-pitches are sensed near the entrances, low pitches near the end. 15) the process by which sensory receptors become less responsive to constant stimuli over time.
