Down: 1) retinal receptors that detect black, white, and gray; necessary for peripheral and twilight vision.2) 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.4) the principle that one sense may influence another, as when the smell of food influences its taste.5) the ability to see objects in three dimensions although the images that strike the retina are two dimensional.7) analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory information8) depth cues, such as retinal disparity,, that depend on the use of two eyes.9) hearing loss caused by damage to the cochlea's receptors cells or to the auditory nerves.14) the study of paranormal phenomena, including esp and psychokinesis15) the controversial claim tha perception can occur apart form sensory input16) the amount of energy is alight or sound wave, perceived as brightness or loudness.19) the nerve that carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain20) the minimum difference between two stimuli required for detection 50 percent of the time.21) the principle that, to be perceived as different, two stimuli must differ by a constant minimum percentage22) a mental predisposition to perceive one thing and not another.23) a device for converting sounds into electrical signals and stimulating the auditory nerve through electrodes threaded into the cochlea24) a branch of psychology that explores how people and machines interact and how machines physical environments can be made safe and easy to use.25) the perceptual tendency to organize stimuli into coherent groups27) depth cues, such as interposition and linear perspective, available to either eye alone.28) perceiving objects as unchanging even as illumination and retinal images change.29) in hearing, the theory that links the pitch we hear with the place where the cochlea's membrane is stimulated30) a ring of muscle tissue that forms the colored portion of the eye around the pupil and controls the size of the pupil opening.32) the minimum stimulation needed to detect a particular stimulus 50 percent of the time34) an illusion of movement created when tow or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession.38) the study of relationships between the physical characteristics of stimuli, such as their intensity, and our psychological experience of them.39) the process by which the eye's lens changes shape to focus near or far objects on the retina42) the central focal point in the retina, around which the eye's cones cluster.43) the innermost part of the ear, containing the cochlea, semicircular canals, and vestibular sacs.44) the system for sensing the position and movement of individual body parts48) the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a give time54) the dimension of color that is determined by the wavelength of light. Across: 3) the sense of body movement and position, including the sense of balance.6) below one's absolute threshold for conscious awareness.10) the point at which the optic nerve leaves the eye, creating a blind spot because no receptor cells are located here.11) the organization of the visual field into objects that stand out from their surroundings.12) a tone's experienced highness or lowness13) a theory predicting how and when we detect the presence of a faint stimulus amid background stimulation.17) conversion of one form of energy into another.18) information processing guided by higher lever mental processes, as when we construct perceptions drawing on our experience and expectations26) 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.31) the process of organizing and interpreting sensory information, enabling us to recognize meaningful objects and events33) perceiving familiar objects as having consistent color, even if changing illumination alters the wavelengths reflected by the object.35) the spinal chord contains a neurological gate that blocks pain signals or allows them to pass on to the brain.36) the processing of many aspects of a problem simultaneously37) the sense or act of hearing40) in vision, the ability to adjust to an artistically displaced or even inverted visual field.41) 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 colors45) opposing retinal processes enable color vision. red-green, white-black yellow-blue46) the transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina47) the activation, often unconsciously, of certain association, thus predisposing one's perception, memory, or response.49) the adjustable opening in the center of the eye through which light enters.50) the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receive and represent stimulus energies from our environment51) hearing loss caused by damage to the mechanical system that conducts sound waves to the cochlea52) nerve cells in the brain that respond to specific features of the stimulus, such as shape, angle, or movement.53) the retina contains three different color receptors, red, green, blue.55) a coiled, bony, fluid filled tube in the inner ear through which sound waves trigger nerve impulses56) by comparing the images from the retinas in the two eyes, the brain computes distance.57) diminished sensitivity as a consequence of constant stimulation
