| These questions are taken from the directed questions found in the margins of the chapter. After reading the chapter, you should be able to answer these questions: 5.1 Differentiate between sensation and perception. 5.2 Describe the absolute threshold and signal detection methods of detecting stimuli. 5.3 Describe research findings on how subliminal stimuli affect attitudes and behaviour. 5.4 Differentiate between absolute and difference thresholds. 5.5 Discuss the dysfunctions of myopia and hyperopia. 5.6 Identify and describe how the structures of the human eye are involved in the sense of vision. 5.7 Explain the transduction process that occurs in the photoreceptors of the eye. 5.8 Describe visual transduction and how it explains brightness vision and dark adaptation. 5.9 Explain colour vision and colour-deficient vision using the trichromatic, opponent-process, and dual-process theories. 5.10 Describe the process of perception in the visual cortex, including a description of feature detectors. 5.11 Describe the components of energy that are involved in the sense of audition. 5.12 Identify and describe how the structures of the ear are involved in the sense of hearing. 5.13 Explain audition using the frequency and place theories of pitch perception. 5.14 Identify the different types of deafness, and explain how they occur. 5.15 Identify the structures involved in gustation, and describe important functions of the sense of taste. 5.16 Identify the structures involved in olfaction, and describe how olfaction regulates social and sexual behaviours. 5.17 Identify and describe the structures involved in the tactile and body senses. 5.18 Describe recent innovations in sensory prosthetics for patients with damage to specific sense systems. 5.19 Contrast bottom-up and top-down processing of sensory information. 5.20 Describe the two complementary processes that occur in attention. 5.21 Provide examples of Gestalt principles of perceptual organisation. 5.22 Describe the roles of perceptual schemas, perceptual sets, and perceptual constancies in stimulus detection. 5.23 Describe the factors that account for shape, brightness, and size constancy in vision. 5.24 Describe and recognise monocular and binocular depth cues and cues for movement. 5.25 Define illusion, and describe how constancies and context are involved in visual illusions. 5.26 Describe the biological development of perceptual skills, and explain how they are affected by cross-cultural factors, critical periods, and experience. 5.27 Describe how studies of restricted stimulation and restored vision illustrate the role of critical periods in perceptual development. |
