Down: 2) an illusion of movement created when tow or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession.4) hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptors cells or to the auditory nerves.5) a laboratory device for testing depth perception in infants and young animals.6) the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a blind spot because no receptor cells are located here.7) the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups10) below one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness.11) analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information12) the central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster.15) the process by which the eye's lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina16) the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment17) opposing retinal processes enable color vision. red-green, white-black yellow-blue19) the principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.20) the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time22) a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus amid background stimulation.23) a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea24) in hearing, 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.27) the spinal chord contains a neurological gate that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.28) diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation29) the study of paranormal phenomena, including esp and psychokinesis31) nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.32) an organized whole.33) the system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts35) a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another.39) a tone's experienced highness or lowness48) the light sensitive inner surface of the eye, containing the receptor rods and cones plus layers of neurons that begin the processing of visual information.49) a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening.50) the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light. Across: 1) the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain3) the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously8) depth cues, such as retinal disparity,, that depend on the use of two eyes.9) a branch of psychology that explores how people and machines interact and how machines physical environments can be made safe and easy to use.13) the sense or act of hearing14) the retina contains three different color receptors, red, green, blue.18) the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.21) in vision, the ability to adjust to an artistically displaced or even inverted visual field.25) information processing guided by higher lever mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations26) by comparing the images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance.30) depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.34) the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina36) the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50 percent of the time.37) the sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance.38) hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea40) perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.41) retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision.42) retinal receptor cells that are concentrated near the center of the retina and that function in daylight or in well lit conditions. detect fine detail and colors43) the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two dimensional.44) in hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated45) a coiled, bony, fluid filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger nerve impulses46) the activation, often unconsciously, of certain association, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response.47) the controversial claim tha perception can occur apart form sensory input51) perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change.52) the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters.53) conversion of one form of energy into another.54) the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a give time
